From the publisher:
1977/78: The Treble That Ended An Era is the story of one of the most memorable seasons in Rangers history, when John Greig’s playing career ended in glory and Jock Wallace’s side completed a clean sweep of domestic honours.

Led by club legend Greig and inspired by Wallace’s attacking, entertaining football, Rangers secured the league championship, Scottish Cup and League Cup to complete a historic treble. Yet beneath the celebrations lay profound change, with Greig preparing to step into management and Wallace departing just days after the season’s final triumph.
