minstral 5,375 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 This photo is from Rangers tour of Russia in the summer of 1962, and when they came home there were thousands of fans at Renfrew Airport to welcome the team home. What other club could get thousands of fans to welcome their team home after a tour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other club could get thousands of fans to welcome their team home after a tour. A wonderful photograph and so evocotive. It reminds me of my old man on holiday, sartorial Lanarkshire chic. Sandals, flannels, open-necked shirt, and blazer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin 18 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I think the guy beside Baillie is Bobby King or Bobby Hume not sure though, but what is happening to wee Ian MacMillan. If you make the picture bigger you can see what looks like someone crouched down behind him and a hand grabbing him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin 18 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I thought the player hidden grabbing the wee prime minister could be either Greig or wee Willie Henderson as Baxter didn't go on tour to Russia because he was with the army at that time. Greig deputised for Baxter on the tour to Russia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greig deputised for Baxter on the tour to Russia I am pleased you confirmed that about Baxter as the person who sent me the photo argued it was Baxter.

I wish we could get all the names to see who it was. I have a book somewhere in the house called The Rangers Players Story and it is all about the Russian tour with lot's of pics, written by PRO man Willie Allison. I am sure there is a couple of pics snapped in front of the same hotel with all players named. When I find it I will let you know who the hidden player is cheers WATP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
