Let the Bad Times Roll - Rangers' Worst Season

 Little did I know what was coming. Fair enough, it wouldn't be for another eleven years, but little did I know our worst ever season might involve us only losing three league games.

Little did I know even dropping just six points in an entirely undefeated season could be far worse than 1985-86.

Click here to read the When Saturday Comes website version of my piece in magazine issue 171 (May 2001).


Little did I know, there are some leagues you just don't want to be in at all.

"As we struggled to average 13,000 the bright yellow, red and orange bucket seats at Ibrox all cried 'Look at me - I'm vacant!'"

Little did I know a piece describing your club's worst ever season could be an act of hubris... or, in fact, a wake-up call to anyone complaining about Rangers failure to win any major honours in our first four seasons back in the top flight.

Third place is always a calamity for Rangers - but things have been worse. And we now know, beyond all doubt, things will always get better.
