Jonathan Tiffoney will be realising a childhood dream when he runs out at Ibrox for Alloa Athletic this afternoon and admits he expects it to be an "extra special" experience.
As a youngster, Tiffoney was a Rangers season-ticket holder and he has fond memories of Ally McCoist and Mark Hateley terrorising defences at home and abroad.
However, the 23-year-old winger is determined to be the one providing the attacking menace in Govan today.
"Rangers are my boyhood heroes and I have never played at Ibrox before, so it will be extra special," said Tiffoney. "I went to the games every second Saturday in the Copland Road."
Tiffoney has already played against Rangers this term, scoring the goal which took the Clackmannanshire club to within six minutes of a historic SPFL Championship win back in September. However, David Templeton netted an 84th-minute equaliser to rescue a 1-1 draw for the Ibrox men.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
