Amazon Prime have posted a clip from a soon-to-be-released documentary that features Sir Alex Ferguson speaking fondly about signing for Rangers.
Sir Alex is best known around the world for his incredible 27-year stint as manager of Manchester United, with whom he won 13 Premier League titles.
However, before moving into management, he had performed impressively as a striker for various Scottish clubs.
After a prolific three years at Dunfermline, he moved to Rangers for a fee of £60,000 in 1967 and he discusses the transfer in a teaser for ‘Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In’, which is set to be released on Saturday.
“I was rumbustious, I was aggressive and I could score goals, you know,” he recalls. “That was when I heard Rangers wanted to sign me. And, of course, having supported Rangers as a boy and lived 200 yards from the ground, I was pretty excited about that.”
“Get in my best suit and go across to Ibrox. It’s unbelievable. There’s a big marble hall, you know, it’s quite impressive.
“It was absolutely fantastic. Govan boy signing for Rangers. Scottish transfer record.”
The clip features archive footage of Glasgow in 1967, a still of Ferguson on the day he signed and recent footage from inside the stadium’s iconic trophy room.
Sir Alex certainly had a twinkle in his eye as he recalled the transfer and the teaser has plenty of Bears excited to see the documentary in its entirety.
The now 79-year-old would leave Rangers in 1969 for Falkirk and after four years with the Bairns, he finished his playing career with a season at Ayr United.
In other news, Rangers fans have heaped praise on Ibrox-bound striker Fashion Sakala after his remarkable latest interview.
