Record low attendance?

The problem with League attendances is that until fairly recently many were given as estimates. The Scottish Football League has accurate attendance records from 1961 onwards but guards these like the Crown Jewels.

In the past 40 years the lowest League gate at Parkhead is the 4,956 who watched Celtic v Dundee on Apr 24th 1984.

The lowest Rangers figure is more problematic. The match at Ibrox on May 23rd 1979 against Partick Thistle is quoted in 'Rothmans' as just 2,500 but other publications have listed a figure as high as 6,000.

Ranjurs were only getting 8000 in the early 80's

Official figure from the Scottish League for that Thistle game was just over 6,000.

Of course we don't know what division Rangers will be in.

Looking at the 3 seasons in the early 80s right before Souness came in Rangers (who finished fourth or fifth) had the highest average attendances in the league.

Who was counting attendances at parkhead in those days, Stevie Wonder?

Integrity.....pffft.

I was at the thistle game.

it was very low though probably 6k is about right

These were cash at the turnstyle so it would be crazy to inflate it.

While in the very poor spell early 80s the season averages were @ 26000... I think

Duke

I listened to a Gers game in the early 80's and 5000 was quoted...........think it was mid-week v St Mirren?

Big Jock Wallace era?
