RANGERS won 14 trophies during the EBT years from 2001 to 2010 – prompting many fans to call for those victories to be struck from the record.

Seven of those trophies came in cup finals against provincial clubs.

Record Sport’s Anthony Haggerty asked a member of each of those teams if they felt the Ibrox club should have the trophy taken from them by the authorities.

2002 Scottish League Cup Final

Rangers...4 Ayr United...0

FORMER Ayr defender Paul Lovering said: “It is not my view the result should be amended. It was just a privilege to play in a cup final for Ayr against a

star-studded Rangers team that was packed with quality players such as Tore Andre Flo and Claudio Caniggia.

“That was an amazing experience and it would have been nice for Ayr to win the League Cup but it was not to be.”

2003 Scottish Cup Final

Rangers...1 Dundee...0

DUNDEE (now St Johnstone) defender Dave Mackay said: “It wouldn’t make a difference to me or interest me whatsoever. It would not make me feel as if I had won the Cup. Dundee had their chance to win that day and we never took it. It has gone and it is done and dusted.

“Having said if the result was ever to be reversed then maybe I could claim a retrospective win bonus!”

2005 Scottish League Cup Final

Rangers...5 Motherwell...1

FORMER Motherwell defender Martyn Corrigan said: “History can’t be changed and what has happened in the past should stand. What happens from now on in though would be a different story. If it was to change and the result declared void then myself and the rest of the Motherwell players would end up with a League Cup winners medal and while I’d be happy with that I don’t think it would be ideal.”

2008 Scottish League Cup Final

Rangers...5 Dundee Utd...2 (Rangers win 3-2 on penalties)

DUNDEE UNITED (now Falkirk) midfielder Mark Kerr said: “There is nothing to be gained by stripping Rangers of the trophy and awarding the League Cup to Dundee United. We thought Rangers were a good team back then and nobody felt they were overspending. We were up against some class Rangers teams in those days. However, United were twice in a winning position in that final before it went to penalties and we were even leading the shoot-out. We put up a great challenge but it just wasn’t our day.”

2008 Scottish Cup Final

Rangers...3 Queen of the South...2

FORMER QoS captain Jim Thomson said: “It is a difficult one but I would not call for Rangers to be stripped of the Scottish Cup. It was 11 v 11 and Queens just came up short.

“Rangers made it all the way to the UEFA Cup Final that season and had a real backlog of games which Queens didn’t have to cope with. The players won the silverware on the park fair and square.”

2009 Scottish Cup Final

Rangers...1 Falkirk...0

FALKIRK defender (now Dumbarton) Darren Barr said: “I never thought about any of those issues at the time. It is a weird one to call as all we were thinking about was winning the Scottish Cup for Falkirk. I don’t think that anything else should be done about it now.

“The Falkirk fans might feel differently about that. For me the result does not change and it would not feel right.”

2010 Scottish League Cup Final

Rangers...1 St Mirren...0

ST MIRREN keeper (now Partick Thistle) Paul Gallacher said: “I don’t feel it was an injustice. We had a big opportunity to win the game that day as they had two players sent off.

“They did it on the pitch – not in the boardroom – and that

St Mirren team will always be remembered as the team that lost a final to nine men which is disappointing. Unfortunately, it was their day.”
