1977/78: A Historic Season for Rangers FC and a Treble That Ended an Era

The 1977/78 season was a historic one for Rangers FC, both on and off the pitch. Captain John Greig's 17-year playing career at Ibrox came to an end with a treble triumph, and he was later voted "The Greatest Ranger" by the fans. Under the management of the late Jock Wallace, the team achieved a clean sweep of domestic honors, playing entertaining and attacking football. Greig then made the leap from player to manager, with Wallace leaving the club just days after completing the treble.

This season marked the last before the modernisation of Ibrox stadium, and it saw the start of another wonderful Rangers career with the arrival of mesmerising winger Davie Cooper. It also saw the emergence of a new force in Scottish football, with the challenge from an Aberdeen team that would grow even stronger in the years to come. Older Rangers fans still fondly remember this season, as it truly marked the end of an era and the start of a new chapter.

The 1977/78 season was a pivotal moment in Rangers FC's history, and it set the stage for future success and glory. The team's achievements on the pitch, coupled with the departure of Wallace and the arrival of new talent, marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in the club's illustrious history.
