1977/78 tells the story of a historic season for Rangers FC on and off the pitch. Manager Jock Wallace and legendary captain John Greig took the team to treble glory, playing entertaining and attacking football. It marked the end of Greig's stellar playing career, and he replaced Wallace as manager just weeks after the season ended.
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.

David Herd is an acclaimed author on the history of Rangers FC, whose previous books, 1872: Stories of Rangers Players of Yesteryear and Rangers: Kings of the League Cup were lauded by club fans. He writes regularly for various fan media groups, and has recorded several club history podcasts that appear on Spotify, as well as being a popular speaker at Rangers fan events.
