Popular Post The Moonlighter 3,624 Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2019 Margaret Ferguson was only 18 years old when she lost her life at Ibrox Stadium on the 2nd January 1971. She was also the only female to die in the tragedy. Over the last couple of years as part of our Restoration of Rangers Graves Project our colleague Chris Beglin has restored the bench in Markinch, which had been placed in memory of the five boys who tragically died that fateful day, and the Robert Mulholland memorial bench in Glasgow. With this in mind we were contacted earlier this month by Ian McLeod Milne who organises the Annual Supporters Memorial Service at Ibrox with a view to restoring the bench that had been placed in memory of Margaret at Muiravonside Cemetery. Subsequently I had the pleasure of meeting Margaret’s sister Mary at the Ibrox Memorial Service earlier this month. We contacted Falkirk Council and they have given their consent for the bench to be removed, restored and put back in place. All updates will be posted.

Popular Post tannerall 25,935 Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2019 I always add to these threads a wee reminder of our remembrance and respect for the families and friends who grieved over loved and lost ones, those who still grieve to this day. And to the injured, the medical services who saved lives and tended the wounded, the police and rescue services, and the fans, players and officials of both clubs, and the good people of Glasgow and beyond who were involved at the time and in the aftermath. Respect to them all. cstamomusa, Blumhoilann, Copland bear and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanFerguson2013 396 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It's such a sad story. I did not know about Margaret. My wife is also called Margaret Ferguson so it strikes home. I wasn't at the game though I could have been. Such a sad day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 In Hungary , they have a monument with photos of the dead in a beautiful tribute . I believe it would absolutely be appreciated if this was done for our 66 fans who lost there lives . Then it becomes more than a name for me . We would have a visual reminder for ever and who would say they , that they don't deserve that Maybe it's just me , but I truly believe all the families would love this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
