Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Don't know if anyone else can confirm this. I read, or was told, that it was Bobby Shearer who brought that portrait into the Rangers home dressing room in the 1960's? And that every Rangers captain of the day would take it down when we played ra Sellick at the Big Jock Knew Camp and hang it on the dressing room there. I don't think it happens anymore mind you.Is any if this correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I knew it did happen fairly recently Think it was John Brown that did the honours Probably stopped doing it the minute someone complained - as usual Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

julescotia 11,407 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 There is 2, one over the back wall (the oldest one) that the Captain sits under traditionally, and one over the door, donated by Butcher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootlaces 38 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Souness put the one above the door of Her Maj, I could be wrong in saying Butcher put the one above the dressing room pegs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
