Popular Post The Moonlighter 3,624 Posted May 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2018 Last year we posted the incredible tale behind this wonderful painting by our own Tom Vallance from 1891 and how it had been found in a cupboard at Ibrox. https://www.thefounderstrail.co.uk/blog We met with the Club to discuss restoring the painting which would be funded by the Restoration of Rangers Graves Project and Club 1872. The Club agreed to let artist Helen Runciman, who has painted among many others our Founders and Tom Vallance portraits, carry out the restoration work. The work is now complete and this priceless gem will be unveiled at the top of the Marble Staircase at Ibrox Stadium this Saturday evening at 7.15pm. This will be before Champions League Final event which is sold out. The New Era, pensionerbear, Mojo84 and 29 others 32 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there were any done. Despite what people think, and that they were there at the beginning, the ones others weren't anywhere near as I'm important as Tom Vallance was in turning Rangers into what we became. Don't actually think the people you mentioned were even anything to do with Rangers when we won our first title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking historically, not titles, I think forming the team in the first place was what I was getting at. Redwhiteandblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
