Only the two summers that bookend this project - 1986 and 1998 - saw more transfer activity at Ibrox than Walter Smith's first as manager. Finally impacted by UEFA's limitation on foreign players, Rangers had to rediscover their Scottish identity after five years of trying to shed it. David and Alan join Martyn to assess just how easy this was and what it meant in the short and long term.  This episode was first aired on Tuesday June 14 2022 Learn more about your ad choices.

A brand new manager with a squad of walking wounded was given four games to see out a two point lead and win a title. When that disappeared at Fir Park, it was the making of one of the most exciting conclusions to a league season in history and helped shape the decade that was to come. Andy and John join Martyn to relive the tension and nerves as 1990/91 came to such a fitting end. This episode was first broadcast on Tuesday June 7 2022 Learn more about your ad choices.

"Don't come to sit on your hands and criticise" said Graeme Souness to the Rangers support via Radio Clyde in January of 1991, with his side 12 games into an unbeaten of 17 - the longest of his reign. Despite a league position of great strength and a Old Firm cup win, Souness was losing control. The departure of Butcher, the loss of Kusnetzov, the hammering in Belgrade and the war with McCoist were just some of the flashpoints as the storm at Ibrox continued to rage.

Martyn is back with his epic account of the greatest era in the history of Rangers FC. David and Alan join him this week and they have plenty to discuss. Rangers were taught two lessons by the Bayern Munich defeat but would only follow through with one, Souness apparently agreed to be Manchester United manager before David Murray had other ideas, a lacklustre cup final, more indifferent league form before the goal that started a spiral and an emotional goodbye to wee Ray.
