MEMBER'S TICKET 1899-99... Available till date of Annual Meeting, 1899, inscribed in pen Mr Thos. Gilchrist 93 Gloucester St., signed Wm. Macandrew (Hon. Treasurer.), over-inscribed NOT TRANSFERABLE UNDER PENALTY OF FORFEITURE Note: This incredibly rare season book comes from the momentous 1898/99 season. Rangers finished top of the League with a 100% win record of 18 wins from 18 matches. More than simply invincible, the team played the perfect season. The book therefore stands as a possibly unique survivor from what remains a unique British achievement. Rangers played a total of 39 competitive matches during the 1898–99 season.[1] They finished top of Scottish League Division One with a one hundred percent record of 18 wins from 18 matches. The club ended the season without any other trophies: in the Scottish Cup, despite beating Hearts and St Mirren en route to the final, they lost to Celtic 2–0.[2][3] Earlier in the season they had also lost in the final of the less important Glasgow Cup 1–0 to Queen's Park,[4][5] and at its end they lost in the minor Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup final, another 2–0 loss to Celtic,[6] also finishing as runners-up to the same opponents in the supplementary Glasgow Football League.[7] Regardless of these setbacks, the perfect league campaign of 1898–99 remains a unique achievement in the annals of British football.[8][9][10][11]
