| APRIL NEWSLETTER General meeting SATURDAY April 26 at 2:30 President’s Report
play Bayern Munich in the semi-final of the European Cup Winners Cup, back then it was only a dream that we could go on to eventually win the trophy, can history repeat itself? It will be a hard tie to win but dreams do happen so let’s hope we can be successful. Yesterday with a wee bit of luck on our side we reached the final of the Scottish Cup, though we didn’t play as well as we could have but that’s football and at the end of the day we still won, it looked like some of the players were a bit weary after so many big games recently, so lets hope they can get it all back on track and finish the season SPL winners, Scottish Cup winners and EUFA cup winners. Overall this season has been very successful for Rangers and we do seem to be back on track. Just wanted to thank all those members who come to every game and support Rangers and also their club, long may it continue. There are several events coming this summer at the club so keep posted and please try and support the club and your executive who are doing a great job behind the scenes on your behalf. ......................Archie Hollinsworth __________________________________ Secretary’s Report It is with great sadness that I have to pass on the news of brother Archie Wilson’s passing. Archie was larger than life and a founding member of the Toronto #1 club as well as being a member here in Bramalea. Archie will be missed by the members of the club, and our sincerest condolences go to his family and close friends. The Funeral will be held at Newediuk Funeral Home (Kipling Chapel) : 2058 Kipling Ave. Toronto M9W 4K5 Friday April 25th at 1pm, with Visitations. ... Thursday 2 to 4pm....7 to 9pm There are two motions to be brought to the NARSA meeting in Calgary that will be presented to the club on Saturday at the general meeting. Like Archie I was also on the terracing at Ibrox that night daring to dream. Well we can still dream Fiorentina are not out of the possibility of being beaten. Not many gave the 1972 team much of a chance of taking and beating the German cracks Bayern Munich, however at the end of the night we had them fighting amongst themselves. I still have the program for that game (and all of them for the run into Barcelona) but the one that night was a wee bit special as my dad had been picked as the face in the crowd to win 2 free seats in the main stand, for the next home game. Not sure if it was the prawn sandwiches or not ;o)) but he was happily back amongst the regular bears from then on in. ..................... Iain Boyle Club Events.

days until 22 May - if Rangers reach the UEFA Cup final. They have taken the unprecedented step of publishing two sets of fixtures for the final set of games. We however face four games in eight days whichever fixture list becomes reality. If Rangers make the UEFA Cup final on 14 May, the last round of fixtures for the top six clubs - which must be played at the same time on the same day - will take place on Thursday 22 May. The Ibrox side will also travel to Motherwell on 17 May, while Gretna's hosting of Hearts will be moved forward to 8 May. If the team lose to Fiorentina, Rangers will travel to face St Mirren on 13 May then Motherwell two days later. Rangers, meet Queen of the South in the Scottish Cup final on 24 May. Our biggest rivals (the team we are going to beat on Sunday) have objected to this, conveniently forgetting the year that they went to Seville their game was brought forward against Dundee by 3 days to assist them. Dundee also conveniently dropped their best 3 players that day en route to 6-2 drubbing. (The manager was/is a Sellick share holder). Even with all this there is no other team in the SPL this season being asked to play 4 games in 8 days, yet they (yes the same them) are harping on about the integrity and fairness of the league campaign, yet Rangers congested fixture list is because of agreeing to play the Jan 2nd game at a later date, a waterlogged pitch, and moving a fixture to allow the Scottish team to get together. Going to be a busy time at the club.
