Kit launch. Rangers in 1992. McCoist. Goram. Gough. Three Ibrox legends. Those adidas equipment kits are classics.

It’s Frank Leboeuf’s birthday today, you remember him. Once scored the sort of goal that no self-respecting centre half should be scoring. Bonnet de douche. That is tres bien, old son. Tres bien indeed. (👍🎥@analysisretro)
