  • Scottish Cup 1st Round 2nd Replay at Ibrox MATCH ABANDONED after 72 minutes
  • Referee Mr Robertson had little choice but to abandon the game as the conditions deteriorated into a "blinding blizzard" rendering conditions "inhuman". In a move which earned them few fans, Rangers suddenly before the game doubled the price of admission to their covered stand!
