Iron Curtain (football)
The Iron Curtain was the defensive line of Rangers F.C. during the late 1940s and early 1950s.〔(Rangers pay tribute to legendary Ian McColl ), ''The Sunday Times'', 26 October 2008.〕 The normal line-up in the early 1950s consisted of goalkeeper Bobby Brown, full backs George Young and Jock Shaw, centre half Willie Woodburn and wing halves Ian McColl and Sammy Cox.〔(Rangers legend Woodburn dies ), BBC Sport, 3 December 2001.〕 These positions refer to the old 3-2-5 formation, where the three defenders would mark the two opposing wingers and centre forward, while the wing-halves dealt with the opposing inside forwards. These direct match-ups meant that Rangers' Iron Curtain had several great confrontations with Hibs' Famous Five forward line of Gordon Smith, Bobby Johnstone, Lawrie Reilly, Eddie Turnbull and Willie Ormond.〔(Ex Scotland manager McColl dies, aged 81 ), ''The Scotsman'', 26 October 2008.〕
The lineup in the mid-1940s of Jerry Dawson, Dougie Gray, Shaw, Scot Symon, Young and Cox was also commonly referred to as the Iron Curtain.〔Dalyell, Tam. (Obituary: George Young ), ''The Independent'', 13 January 1997.〕 This was done to the extent that most young people in Scotland would associate the term with Rangers, rather than the geopolitical situation.〔
