Best bet would be to speak to the chap that sells old programmes across from the main stand

I reckon you would need to give him a date of that issue , or a rough estimate of it

I binned a few hundred of them recently keeping only the first one printed, and most certainly that issue was one of them

Good luck.

Leave it with me,bud.

I have a box containing (almost) every issue.

I will try to get a chance over the weekend to dig them out and,if it's there, it's yours.

No payment required,bud.

I'll let you know as soon as I've checked thru them.(I'm not missing many so you'd have to be damned unlucky for that issue to be one of the RN's that I failed to get my hands on!)

When do you need it for?

A very underestimated player in his day.......his nickname 'Wullie Wan Fit' ('William One Foot' for those non-Glaswegians out there ;)) was very apt.

Good luck with your search.

Had an initial look in 2 out of the 3 possible locations last weekend with no joy.

I will check the other one over the weekend(they've got to be there as the weight of the bassas means I couldn't have moved them too far!)

I will PM you as soon as I've checked,bud.

I won't forget.

google flickr, then in the search box type Rangers news magazines 1972, all the front pages come up, June 14th front page has one photo, its Wallace and Waddell with the headline

This was the right time, 5p bought this mag.
