Rangers spending in this season was just absolutely turbo-charged. They were great players, sure, but it's absolutely insane now, looking back on it. The attitude always seemed to be - "we didn't win this week? No problem, let's go and sign someone". Just look at the goalkeepers alone: imagine you already sign Lionel Charbonnier for a start - in the France World Cup winning squad that summer, and have Antti Niemi as back-up. And by Christmas, a few months later, you've signed Stefan Klos - Champion's League winner with Dortmund just a year previously. Three goalkeepers of that quality is just unbelievable, for any Scottish club. Unthinkable it would ever happen again. Add a midfield of Albertz, Van Bronckhorst and Reyna, with Numan and Kanchelskis on the flanks - unbelievable.
Short memories, as a not die hard no more the treatment of Fergus was despicable at the highest level. He did make celtic as it is today. Sometimes I think football supporters are braindead
@@joemuir2575 Be reasonable. A lot of that lies at the total gutter ineptitude of the Scottish media, which portrayed David Murray and Rangers as masters of ambition who had endless riches, when the reality was that they were spending money that wasn't there. Celtic fans failed to grasp that McCann was actually doing what was right for their club, i.e. living within their means
First off …The Celtic fans saved the club . Yes Fergus had the plan and the vision and put the initial capital up to oust the old board , and for that we will always be grateful , big ordinary fans saved the club by buying shares .But the section of fans who booed ( and it was a minority albeit a significant one ) are entitled to voice their opinions . As was stated in the video , Celtic had spent the square root of hee haw on new players , had lost a very popular manager who had stopped the 10, and were watching rangers spend money (that we now know they didn’t have ) on very good international players . We had also just announced record turnover and boasted the highest amount of season ticket holders in Britain. The fans were merely voicing their dissatisfaction at the lack of investment in the squad and the failure to move forward . Rangers won 5 out the next 6 domestic trophies . It’s easy in retrospect for folk to have a go at these fans , but given the circumstances at the time it was probably understandable . Looking back most if not all will admit to being wrong and not seeing the bigger picture that Fergus did . But all fans think of is the here and now, not 10/15/20 years into the future
Do you have a video of the 1994 football years episode at all, can find every other one remember when they came out about 10 years ago. The 94 one was great, Duncan Ferguson, Fergus McCann and Raith Rovers
Aye, it brings back memories alright, but not necessarily positive ones. Memories of the school playground, where everyone supported Rangers for reasons which I know now were based around glory-hunting, subsequently getting involved in stupid slanging matches, nothing bad that you said about Rangers was very effective because they seemingly had a bottomless pit of money, and these glory hunters were lording it over everyone else, it wasn't much fun. Scottish football's way better when you're just a casual, part-time supporter, believe me.
Thanks for posting the football years - much appreciated. Brings back so many memories of Scottish football.

Scottish football was living on the economics of the "Never Never" and our National Team has been paying for it ever since!

I remember being 15 years old and shouting at celtic fans to stop booing Fergus McCann that day. I couldn't believe it.
Jam Gers your a absolute legend for uploading this programme. Would love to own them all on dvd if that's possible?

It just shows you how much 9/11 changed the world forever when it even affected Scottish football! 😲
So basically the actions of Celtic supporters led to the demise of the 6:05pm Kick Off slot and the loss of the TV deal with Sky. Mental.
