The Famed "We Shall Return" Editorial
".... We are no failures; no has beens; and no write-offs and those who believe that Rangers' brief
spark of glory is extinguished are in for a rude awakening next season...
"We have lost the campaign of the First Divison but we go down with colours flying, bayonets fixed; and of course drums beating.
We prefer to think that this is no inglorious retreat but a startegic withdrawal to consolidate our forces for the next assault
upon the First Division. And in the words of General Macarthur "'We Shall Return!'"
