LeBlond 143 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Use an image hosting website to upload the pics mate.I use http://tinypic.com/Go there upload the pic and it will give you a number of links, use the one that says something like direct url ( I think its the 3rd or 4th option) and then click insert image above your reply on here and paste the link from tinypic Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having trouble figuring out who the directors are or were? might be a strech does any one have any info on Rangers from 1908? how do I post pics?I might be putting you on the wrong course here, but the second signature looks to me like David Laidlaw. I don't know if this is the correct name and don't have any historical information to confirm if such a person had a connection with Rangers. A bit of googling does highlight a David Laidlaw with a connection to football, based in Glasgow who was Treasurer of The Boys Brigade at that time. Maybe him?There is a poster on here called Themoonlighter who researches a lot of early history and it might be worth dropping him a pm.
