Rangers 1 Dundee 5

Dundee crush Rangers 5-1 at ibrox on their way to the league championship 1961-62. Alan Gilzean nets 4 times as the Rangers are ripped apart by the mighty Dee.

[@robertthomson4013]

As a rangers fan i salute you Alan gilzean what a player

[@gapamu66]

Im a Hoops fan and Gilzean was always a favourite player of mine

[@mikemckv]

Great clip. 0-0 at half time too. What a team Dundee were.

[@robertcramb4654]

Gilzean moved to Tottenham for £72,500 in 1964. How much would he be worth today? Magnificent player

[@BillDFC]

Pity we didn't see Andy Penman's goal....Andy was a great player!

[@jonkent8057]

I was there. I was 11 years old and it was my first away match supporting the Dark Blues. On the outskirts of Glasgow our coach was warned the match might be off because of fog. It wasn't. But I remember during the second half we were nervous wrecks - not because Dundee were out-classing Rangers but in case the match might be abandoned. You can imgination the combination of relief and elation we all felt when the final whistle blew. .... and then onto the Championship match at Muirton Park. What a year! What a team! What a club! The Dee Forever!

[@RikkiD46]

I was 12 and ran into a crush bar before the game and belted my nose, spent first half in ambulance room, got out in second half to see Rangers get a doing, as a young Rangers fan it wasn't one of my better days lol

[@harryrichmond5339]

As a seven year old Rangers fan I remember my dad commenting on the great travelling support Dundee had brought down. He said it would be a real shame for all these fans to travel and find the game was postponed. I wish it had been.

[@BillDFC]

Gillie was only sent off once in his glorious career. It was against A.C.Milan in the semi-final of the European Cup.The Italians had spent most of the match kicking lumps out of him until he retaliated. Dens Park May 1963.

[@leehughes3910]

The greatest players to ever wear the Dark Blue 💙 Hero's 🙌🙌

[@petergarty3196]

Watching this again really cheers you up, DTID. let's hope our turn will come again.

[@tatankha1]

First rangers game my dad took me too as a wean, called me a jinx for days.

[@asd36f]

6:58 - Rangers supporter who had seen enough and wanted to get home early!

[@db43]

Marvellous! Absolutely marvellous!!

[@BillDFC]

Ian Ure was centre half that day. The team was Liney,Hamilton,Cox,Seith ,Ure,Wishart,Smith,Penman,Cousin,Gilzean and Robertson.

[@ewantaylor4478]

That Dundee no. 9 was pretty good as well

[@paulhagen5645]

1962 Dundee win the league then get to the European Cup semi final. 1983 Dundee Utd win the league then get to the European Cup semi final. That's not too bad at all.

[@ypt100]

Another Spurs legend, Jimmy Greaves, is quoted as saying: ''Alan Gilzean was the greatest player I ever played with.'' You cannot get higher praise than that. Buy the paperback: 'In search of Alan Gilzean' Amazon do a discount. And you dont have to be a Dundee or Spurs fan to enjoy it.

[@bhoy1013]

How brilliant would it have been, if Dundee had won the European cup the following season? How times have changed, and not for the better!

[@negba]

What a team!

[@michaeldiegnan5859]

The Dundee player called Cousin. His son Mike Cousin went on to play rugby for the Edinburgh University Rugby Football Club.

[@scotswanderer]

Some player- Alan Gilzean. I was only 9 at that time and I guess Dundee had a great team.

[@BillDFC]

Alan Gilzean, Coupar Angus loon and wore the Dark Blue.

[@gapamu66]

Alan Gilzean with hair, so funny , i remember him from the 70's and he was baldy even then

[@swaldron5558]

His hairs started fall off as soon he moved to dirty London.

[@Fernandwinnie]

Pity we don't see Andy Penman's goal.

[@ewanmacfarlane9195]

The golden era of the Scottish game.

[@jokergame]

Incredible performance!I remember Gillie for his aerial power but that was very much all round skill. Was that Ian Ure at centre half?

[@ianlivingston8747]

back then the home team changed kit in event of a clash

[@bhoy1013]

I wonder how many other clubs can claim to have beaten both Celtic and Rangers 5-1?

[@peterbrown6434]

Amazing stuff!!

[@lastbus]

The flicks by Gillie in this game would have been widely applauded by fans of Ronaldo. In all honesty Gers could have been beat by 10 in this game.Oh to have skills of Bobby Cox and Alan Gilzean in todays team.

[@sabbathslaves]

But let’s not forget how big Ian Ure was instrumental in the whole game

[@BillDFC]

Changed days eh? The season after this Dundee reached the semi-finals of the European Cup.

[@josephgilligan9698]

When was this?

[@JohnHendry-fp9qn]

Andy the penalty king Penman

[@stephenlever419]

Was Charlie Cooke in the Dundee team ?

[@BillDFC]

@woodyfurball Eh? this was the Dundee side that reached the semi-finals of the European Cup,thrashing some of Europe's finest teams along the way.

[@JohnHendry-fp9qn]

Mon the DEE

[@BillDFC]

Leave the penalties to Handy Andy!

[@Fernandwinnie]

Yes, Ian Ure moves to Arsenal in 1963.

[@BillDFC]

I'm not actually sure,but he always played inside left for Dundee when I watched him.

[@BillDFC]

Right footed.

[@bobmorrice]

the gay gordon-what a player won the league and played in european cup semi finals with hibs and dundee also won the league and played in european cup with hearts

[@PhilWood82]

Rangers fouled in the box, so they get...an indirect free kick?! LOL

[@UpcdtdS]

That's because they weren't too concerned about Celtic surpassing them in league titles won so no need to give Rangers penalities at this particular time... 😂😂😂

[@MyMeepo]

exscuse me im related to alan gilzean coz hes mma dads dads cousin

[@yodabiscuits2429]

Why are the Rangers wearing the away strip

[@stephenturner6075]

It maybe simply that Rangers wanted to wear the away kit at home as has occasionally happened over the years or the referee felt both kits clashed and maybe Dundee only brought home kits to Ibrox and it was Rangers who had to make the change? In the Scottish Cup Final 1964 Rangers wore that same kit against Dundee who wore an all white away kit. Rangers won 3-1. I think it's a beautiful kit and would like to see the team wear it once again...royal blue and white stripes with royal blue shorts and red socks.

[@BillDFC]

At 38 seconds,see Sir Robert with the sliding tackle.

[@redmanthinks]

woodyfurball. Looks good to me.

[@ewanmacfarlane9195]

Dave..My wife was right there is a blockage in your toilet.... but i've fixed it now.

[@treaclebuns]

Rangers would have been better off getting the referee to abandon the game at half-time due to fog.

[@BillDFC]

Dark Blue forever.

[@harrybuik9763]

It was like the 1945 game against Moscow dinamo the fog the Russians played 25 players in 2nd half lol a lot of dundee supporters buses 🚌 were turned back by police told game was off ski 🎿 😳 a lot of fans missed the match but heard it on radio 📻 many moons 🌙 a go

[@woodyfurball]

watched soo muchof this game,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but sadly its the same old crap of Scottish football,no skill whatsoever, People thinking Baxter was a player cause he once trapped a ball, Refereee was`nt wearing a rangers top, but that makes a nice change! Commentary still the same, does`nt matter wot knob does it, it still sounds BORING

[@robertthomson4013]

woody furball ha ha ye that's why we had so many Scots playing for all the top English teams ya nannygoat

[@nawyecannae53]

Ooh aye lad that’s champion.
