Trevor and Ash return with the show that looks at Rangers Captains.

This time around they look at Bert Manderson who was our first ever non-Scottish captain. Tommy Muirhead was a very interesting fella who spent 90 days on a boat to go and play in the American Soccer League!

The World Cup was stolen in 66 in London. That was called the Jules Rimet trophy after the French President of FIFA in the 50s. Brazil got to keep that one in 1970 when they won it in Mexico.

Until recent years the SFA's headquarters was at Park Gardens, in the West End of Glasgow.

Sorry, Trevor, but having no nets on goals DOES " impact the game". They were devised to ensure that the ball did go between and under the posts as previously goals had been contested as not having gone between the sticks but had flown past the posts.
