Yes here name is Margaret Im sure, cant remember her 2nd name ! She was at the 40th anniversary service.

Thanks everyone ! god loves a trier so its all we can do n most important its already drawing support n favourable comments from some family members of the 66 !

There is a petition started in the hope of a statue in George Square of the nurse outside Ibrox on 2/1/1971 - an iconic image and something I think that should have been done many years ago to represent the work of all that terrible day and in every day life in Scotland of the health works, emergency services n everyday people..... All signatures welcome and shares across all social media appreciated. The 1971 Ibrox Disaster was and remains Scotlands worst football tragedy. Glasgow to so many of its sons who never came home on 2/1/71 as well as the other men & children from around the country and Margaret Ferguson from Falkirk. We petition Glasgow City Council to build this statue before the 50th anniversary in 2021 on George Square Build a statue of the 'Ibrox Disaster Nurse' on George Square in Glasgowhttp://www.ipetitions.com/petition/build-a-statue-of-the-ibrox-disaster-nurse-on/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=button via @ipetitions

Smart as ! I reckon thatd go down well at Lenzie Golf club.

Is this it now ? Is there no major figure associated now like McCoist or Smith or anyone http://rangersfansfightingfund.uk/3.html Is that rfff board still the same ?

Jim Hannah ..."Unfortunately, I did not have time to contact all the Family members before embarking on the repair work which was carried out on the Memorial plinth,... " So some got contacted, some didnt. Some families found out through the grape vine - pretty poor show all round. The families have had very little from the club all these years and imo deserve being given their due and their place.

Someone on Twitter posted what Davie Mason The club historian has said.... The Robert Sarver interest has been ongoing for a few weeks. It has not been played through the media and he has done his due diligence and approached this in a thoroughly professional manner. He has no connections with the Park or King groups, but I gather from press reports he would work with all parties keen on the club progressing. His interest is in taking the club back to the top and into the Champions League - and has the resources to get the club there. This is a great opportunity for Rangers, but we will need to see how it plays out from here. He has taken advice from some Rangers sources, but, in keeping with the professionalism of the man, the business will conducted behind closed doors, I imagine.

Seemingly going to get fixed next week but the whole thing about a stairway memorial is ongoing.

The statue plinth has the new bricks on it replacing the blue plaques. They have put 71 bricks on the front instead of 66 names and 20 on the side instead of 25. Its all going to have to get brought off to get fixed. This work was done before anyone from the club phoned any of the families or even consulted them. John Greig said in his book he felt uneasy that such a tragedy should be marked by a statue to one man but David Murray had went ahead with it anyway. At the service to unveil it the families were sat behind all the dignitaries n left in a room with the minister for a couple of hours. After 30 years they felt what do we need a minister for. And they put the memorial at the wrong side of the stadium. The 40th anniversary was the 1st proper memorial service for the families inside the stadium given their place and due recognition after 40 years !! The fans liason officer decided after the 40th that there would be a fans memorial on the site of staircase 13 'for the fans by the fans' but as yet it hasnt appeared n no link for fans to donate n the hum n haw about the use of money from the RFFF in addition to those donations already from the medal selling and the hillsborough ibrox group donation. Its obv been enough for this family to speak up after them holding their counsel all these years n lobbying for any sort of statue or memorial to shame the club into doing something.

Cheers mate, good luck to him as a local lad and the rest o the team. Have looked out for any mentions on the youths blog now n again.

How is the lad Balfour doing for us ?

Wee Johnny Hubbard calls him 'Simple Symon' !!

No need for apologies mate I dont think many would be outside those local to him or the ex players etc, as it goes Sandy Jardine despite his own health had been working on a package of memories to send out to Canada for Sammy.

He has been in a home a good while now - unsure if its Alzeihmers or Dementia but his son passed away a few years back n Sammy wasn't any the wiser. He must be the oldest 1st team player next to Bobby Brown still with us.
