All books have now gone.Incredible turnaround in 24 hours Bears. The Rangers Fund will receive a major boost early next week. Auld Moses is chuffed to bits.

We have an incredible and unique story. It's all contained on the pages of this fascinating book.

Out of print. Publisher etc trying to cash in.

Because in my opinion £80 is ripping people off.

All orders processed today will be posted tomorrow morning. Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies.

Via paypal, a posted cheque or i can meet outside Ibrox prior to any home match.

Received and thank you.

The Gallant Pioneers 1872 book is currently selling for £80 on Amazon, it can't be purchased in bookshops. I've managed to get my hands on 50 copies signed by the author Gary Ralston. We're selling them at £23 ( incl P+P). Every penny made will go directly to The Rangers Fighting Fund. Moses and the lads are helping their Club stay afloat through this turbulent time. For your copy just PM me or send an email to thegallantpioneers@googlemail.com

We played Sporting Klub of Vienna at Ibrox in 1933. Reports highlight Tom Vallance being present at the match and the Dinner held in The St.Enoch Hotel later that evening. A life-long association with his Club.

This stunning article is from the Nottingham Evening Post 31st December 1928. The lad who was present at Fleshers Haugh is still attending landmark events in our Club's history.

The Founders Trail was filmed by the Rangers Media team last year. We do hope that you enjoy. http://www.thegallantpioneers.co.uk/Video.html

It's a wonderful suggestion. This is only my opinion but i've never been keen on the '' Founding Fathers '' term. It ages them, they were only teenagers when they formed our Club.

The Founders team will have an information stand available within the Ibrox Superstore this saturday. If you're around, drop in for a chat about our Founders. We'll also have details on the Founders Trail and Ibrox Stadium Tour.

The Founders Trail will also operate on the following dates: Sunday 8th April Sunday 6th May ( subject to change) Saturday 2nd June Sunday 24th June Sunday 15th July. For further information just drop me a PM.

Seats going fast folks.

The book is in short supply just now folks. There are plans to publish an update but that as with many things this has slowed down with the current situation at the Club. Tours through the summer will mostly run on a sunday, as soon as the split in the League occurs we'll publish a batch of dates.

Join us on a journey of discovery back to 1872 when The Rangers were just the dream of a group of young kids who gathered on Fleshers Haugh. They had no ball, no football kit and used a bush on the green as a changing room. Their Club, which they nurtured, was to become the world's most successful and it all happened on the streets of Glasgow. Our journey takes us to the area of Fleshers Haugh where The Rangers played their first ever match, we also visit Glassford Street, Union Street, Berkeley Street, Burnbank, Kinning Park, Craigton Cemetery and many other places of interest before finishing off our day with a tour of our magnificent Ibrox Stadium. During our journey we have a 30 minute break at the West of Scotland Cricket Ground in Partick which was the scene of the Rangers first ever Scottish Cup Final in 1877. It gives everyone a chance to unwind, grab a beer or soft drink and a bite to eat at a beautiful and historical setting.

£30 is approx £3,000 in today's money. We've been here before, and we'll survive again.

How poignant and relevenat is this wee article ? Something's just never change. " That £30 should stand between the club and extinction seems incredible. Yet such was the case in the eighties, as we tell in the following story. Around a table sat a number of men grave of countenance and puckered brows. " It has come to this," said one, "We must have £30 or we cannot carry on. There is not a farthing in the exchequer. Can someone suggest where the £30 is to come from?" And the man at the top of the table answered , ""We cannot let the club go under without a fight, I shall advance the club £30 - and let us hope for better times." Those men were the committee of the Rangers Football Club. The Year was 1883. The first doleful speaker was the treasurer, Mr J.B. Ness, the good angel was the president, Mr George Goudie. neither of them lived to see how momentous was the sequel to that quick transition from despair to hope.
