1977/78: A Historic Season for Rangers FC and a Treble That Ended an Era tells the story of a historic season for Rangers FC on and off the pitch. Captain John Greig''s 17-year playing career at Ibrox ended in treble glory, and he was later voted ''The Greatest Ranger'' by the fans. With another great Rangers figure as manager, the late Jock Wallace, the team made a clean sweep of domestic honours, playing entertaining and attacking football. Greig would then make the leap from player to manager, with Wallace leaving the club just days after completing the treble. Season 1977/78 was the last before the modernisation of Ibrox stadium, and 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 years to come. It is a season still fondly remembered by older Rangers fans. It truly marked the end of an era and the start of a new chapter.

Industry Reviews

"For top writer, David Herd, blue is the colour... Herd focuses on 1977/78 to review in fine detail, month-by-month, match-by-match; 1977/78 was a historic Treble-winning season for the 'Gers with such (playing) greats in their ranks as Derek Johnstone, Davie Cooper, Derek Parlane, and captain John Greig... An excellent read and matchless research and writing from David Herd. Rating: 10/10."

-- Mark Watkins * Dare Radio *

"The 1977/78 campaign was a key one for Rangers. With skipper John Grieg approaching the end of a long and illustrious career and with the mercurial Jock Wallace at the helm, the Glasgow giants swept all before them, capturing the three domestic trophies on offer... A comprehensive look back at a huge season for Rangers that marked the end of an era."
