Winning At Ibrox

[Cobra]

Anyone got any memories of seeing the Dee win in Govan?

[RossBFD]

Not for me unfortunately, last time we did so I was close to turning 2 years old.

Our last 10 games at Ibrox:

Rangers 4-0 Dundee
Rangers 4-0 Dundee
Rangers 4-0 Dundee
Rangers 4-1 Dundee
Rangers 1-0 Dundee (92nd minute winner)
Rangers 4-0 Dundee (that Scottish Cup QF)
Rangers 3-0 Dundee
Rangers 4-0 Dundee
Rangers 3-1 Dundee
Rangers 3-1 Dundee

Any improvement over the last 3 would be welcome. GvB is still figuring out how to best implement his new system, so hopefully we can frustrate a team changing from that style they used under Stevie G.

I doubt many of us were many around to see this classic.

Rangers 1-5 Dundee

The Dark Blues travelled west on November 11th 1961 to face the highly-fancied and unbeaten Light Blues.

Gillie was on fire, scoring a remarkable four goals away to the champions with Penman adding another.

Six months later that famous trophy would be heading to Dens.

You can see Gilzean is quality in that video but Smith, Penman and Cousin were also clearly fantastic footballers. What an obscenely talented attack. Dees back then really had it good.

No. That game that lives long in the memory with me and my pals - Harkins giving it the big un in the paper during the week and then we took a doing. 

The only redeeming factor of that weekend was seeing The Coral on Sauchiehall St after it.

Tomorrow will be different.

I think we might have been slight favourites that day but the likes of Harkins, Stewart and Hemmings sadly didn't rise to the occasion.

GGH in the papers didn't help. I don't know if it affected things but their fans were massively up for playing Dundee in a way I'd not seen before.

I love this goal from the Pole at Ibrox.

Neil McCann doesn't know what hit him in the Dundee half and seconds later the ball is nestling in the Rangers net.

In 1985/86 Dundee and Rangers were on a similar level. We beat them three times including this game at Ibrox when the underrated Stuart Rafferty hit a terrific long-range winner (10 mins 50 secs).

Both teams finished on 35 points. We narrowly missed out on Europe but did famously deny Hearts the title at Dens.

[Cobra]

While I've not seen Dundee win at Ibrox, I have at least heard Dundee win at Ibrox.

Of all the days for there to be a ticketing mix-up it between DFC and Rangers it had to be this day...

Rangers 0-2 Dundee

It was Dundee who opened the scoring in the 14th minute through that man Claudio Caniggia.

Rangers cleared a Giorgi Nemsadze free-kick but after Javier Artero and Barry Smith combined on the right, Smith poked the ball forward to the preying Argentinian striker.

Caniggia slipped his marker to fire home from a tight angle at the near post.

Dundee wasted a glorious chance to go 2-0 up when Artero sent Caniggia haring down the right. His cross was met by Gavin Rae but he shot wastefully wide.

Caniggia almost set up Nemsadze for an injury-time clincher after Garrido had made his way into the box but his shot was deflected away for a corner that Caniggia headed just over.

Walter del Rio came on and immediately set up fellow substitute Steven Milne for the second Dundee goal deep into stoppage time with a perfect cross to the far post which Milne headed past Klos.

Rangers: Klos, Moore, Wilson, Amoruso, Porrini, Carson, Konterman, Ferguson, Johnston, Gayle, Flo.

Dundee: Roccati, Smith, Marrocco, Tweed, Coyne, Artero, Rae, Garrido, Nemsadze, Caniggia, Sara.

I think 1999/2000 deserves a mention. Rangers won the league by 21 points. Their only defeat of the season before the final day came at Ibrox to Jocky Scott's Dundee.

An absolutely sensational result with Craig Ireland and Gavin Rae silencing the 47,000 home crowd in a 2-1 win for the Dee.

I loved that Dundee team before the Bonetti era. Falconer in particular was different class.

The Dee's first ever win at Ibrox came against Clyde on April 20th 1910 as Dundee lifted the Scottish Cup thanks to goals from Jimmy Bellamy and Sailor Hunter.

Curiously, Dundee had never beaten Rangers at Ibrox before that but they quickly put that right, winning on their next visit as Tom Lindley scored twice in a 2-1 win.
