EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 19th of November, 1977, where Glasgow Rangers faced off against St. Mirren in a Scottish Premier Division match at Ibrox. The image captures a moment that would go down in football history as a big joke for both teams involved. Amidst the intense action on the field, it seems that even the players themselves couldn't help but find humor in what was about to unfold. St. Mirren player Iain Munro can be seen sharing a laugh with former colleagues Sandy Jardine and Gordon Smith, perhaps sensing the absurdity of the situation about to transpire. The focus then shifts to Glasgow referee David Syme, who is caught mid-action as he prepares to make an unfortunate mistake - sending off the wrong player. The incredible mix-up occurred when Rangers winger Tommy McLean received his marching orders for an off-the-ball incident. This photograph encapsulates not only the controversy surrounding refereeing decisions but also highlights how moments like these can bring unexpected amusement amidst high-stakes sporting events. It serves as a reminder that even in competitive environments, laughter and camaraderie can prevail. With its rich historical context and portrayal of sportsmanship gone awry, this picture offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into football's past while reminding us that sometimes even professionals can find themselves caught up in comical situations on the pitch.
