He had a serious injury in his knee, smashing the cartilage during training. He continued to train and play on the injured knee, tearing a crucial ligament during a squash game.

He claimed to have played two first-team games for Rangers. According to his autobiography, he played a couple of non-league matches as a trialist for Rangers and was signed by the club at the age of 15.

Allan Cairns, the photographer that took a picture of Ramsay playing for Rangers in September 1985, said the photo was not one of Ranger’s first team but a side picked to play a recommendation match.
