They look a bit older from what I remember so assumed it was from a charity legends match or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 3 hours ago, Don54 said: I came across this : At a meeting in 1895, "All the competitors in the heavy events at Ibrox on Saturday hail originally from the north of Scotland. Since many of the most famous field athletes were not only Highianders but also officers in local police forces, their presence gave a certain air of respectability to the proceedings which appealed not only to Glasgow's establishment but also to the lower middle classes and members of the labour aristocracy. Sometimes, however, cultural clashes were deliberately encouraged to promote commercial interest. In 1894 the Govan Police Sports was held at Ibrox. In order to provide a financially attractive ethnic clash, one of the five police teams involved in an inter-city tug-of-war contest came from Dublin. It was opposed by a Govan Police team dressed in Rangers F.C.'s colours. Very interesting information that surprised me. The sporting events seems to be a side of our club;s history that has been neglected. Would love to find out more about it, as it seems back then Ibrox was the heart of the community.

Likewise... it would surely have been rare for a helicopter to have been charted for such an event in 1959... good grief, how much would that have cost the 'Daily Express', as attributed and what was in it for them? There surely has to be more to this whole story. Sweetheart 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the first logo to be worn on the shirt? CR Smith. I didn't like the fact they sponsored the other lot as well as us so I bought a top without the sponsor on it.
