Only the two summers that bookend this project - 1986 and 1998 - saw more transfer activity at Ibrox than Walter Smith's first as manager. Finally impacted by UEFA's limitation on foreign players, Rangers had to rediscover their Scottish identity after five years of trying to shed it. David and Alan join Martyn to assess just how easy this was and what it meant in the short and long term.

Best show on the network gents, really appreciate all the time and effort that’s clearly spent on it

This is quite possibly my favourite season of watching Rangers. You could see something being built in front of you, the tension of the past 18mths wasn’t there - lots of smiling players. Should be noted as well that Walter Smith’s initial period was almost cavalier in the approach as proper thumpings of opponents by 4 or 5 goals started to become a regular feature. Listening to the show - you forget that summer and a bit of uncertainty with Woods/Goram in particular. Although I do remember a fair bit of pragmatism and realisation that more Scottish players were required, albeit with some resignation that the big names might not be such a thing. There were a few signings that were described as being in the works under Souness and I always felt that was a bit of a validation exercise to boost that Smith was continuing the work of recent years, rather than just ripping it up.

Is my memory playing tricks on me or did the 91/92 season review feature a near miss from Miko in one of his early games from the halfway line, possibly at Brockville?

Looking forward to this hugely; 1991/92 is the first season I can consciously remember. Even the early season disappointments like Sparta Prague and Hibs didn't really register because they would have taken place at night when I was in bed so they didn't really scar me, and I think the next two seasons might be the best two ever to have started supporting Rangers, particularly calendar year 1992 where we win all 3 domestic trophies and lose only twice all year. No wonder Levski Sofia hit me so hard - I was just so used to the idea that Rangers just win all the time.

Terrific listen. My confirmation bias absolutely believes the 91 92 season with Hateley in his absolute pomp. A Keith Wright Hampden horror aside I feel this side was worthy of a treble. The Parkhead visit in August - my 18th birthday - was indeed a watermark for future visits to the chamber of secrets and what a time to be a bear! Thanks guys - smashing stuff

Another fabulous episode with great discussion, opinions & reminiscence. Thanks Martyn, David & Alan for another show in this wonderful series. David mentioned towards the end this felt like the start of a new era and it was - the Walter & 3 Foreigner era. They say 'the sky's the limit'. Between 1986-9 not for us it wasn't! Under Souness we went beyond that, reached for the stars - and then bought them. Until this point! The wild young days of the Revolutionised Rangers were over. That feeling will never be felt again. With Walter in charge and the 3 rule we had to reset, still wanting progression, albeit in a different way and whilst the rule was restrictive for us it was also restrictive for the rest in the league with us constantly poised to buy up the best emerging Scottish talent. Hateley - his goals win the league, a summer of adoration from the Bears, fit, a pre-season = in the zone! Looking forward to next episode. Thanks again guys. Brilliant show.

One of the best episodes so far of a brilliant series. Might be because by this stage I'm starting to have a clearer memory of watching and listening to games and understanding the bigger picture, not just the big events. But a few great insights - the significance of the win at Parkhead, the contrast between signing these players who came with big reputations in the Souness era versus bringing in guys like Robertson who confessed to being in awe when they arrived, etc. Keep it up lads.

All the talk about the three foreigners rule reminds me of the Only an Excuse joke that it was called the eight diddies rule in Scotland 😀
