Partick Thistle and the famous win over Rangers that sparked John Greig revolt and made Mo Johnston the hero

Rangers fans reacted with fury the last time Partick Thistle won at Ibrox as livid light blue legions launched a post-match demonstration against manager and club legend John Greig - with future strike star Mo Johnston inspiring the Jags to a shock victory.

Michael Beale’s side and Scottish Cup holders welcome Thistle to Ibrox for a fifth round tie on Sunday with Ian McCall's Championship promotion hopefuls as big as 28/1 with the bookies to stun Michael Beale's men.

The Maryhill side haven't won at Ibrox since October 1981. They were also outsiders that day - 13/2 with the bookies - but it didn't stop Peter Cormack's side from winning 2-0 thanks to goals from George Clark and Johnston, who would later go on to play for Celtic via Watford, before being part of arguably the biggest Scottish transfer story of all time when he moved to Rangers under Graeme Souness, after previously agreeing to return to Celtic from Nantes.
