GOAT 30,449 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 There is a tea towel in the Louden hanging up on the wall framed. On it it tells the story of how we were born. It also said that we called ourselves Argyll before changing to Rangers. That is the first time I've ever heard that, is that true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
West_Side 1,571 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 All the founders were Argyll lads themselves, so it wouldn't surprise me. I don't remember the Gallant Pioneers (the book) mentioning it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just 'argyll' or Glasgow argyll Or Argyll Rangers ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just Argyll.It was obviously an old tea towel, but it's not something I'd ever heard, and I know most of Rangers history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
julescotia 11,407 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 First I've heard of it.Wouldn't surprise me though, with them being Argyll lads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 We were a town to begin with, then they thought it would be more likely to get 50,000 a week to see a football game than to visit a small town up north, so we became a football club instead.4 Young Lads Were A Scheme Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB 599 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Had that same tea towel years ago. Picture of Ibrox in the middle with the history of the club on one side and Rangers songs on the other. And yes if I had been asked out of the bue who Argyll FC were I would have answered the fore-runner of Rangers FC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue68 2,497 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Our first game against Callander was played under the name Argyle fc on Glasgow Green. I thought more people would have wondered why we have an Argyle Suite at Ibrox before now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergio 1,199 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I heard someone say it on the Ibrox Tour I was at a few weeks back, (private tour as I was doing work for the ASL School that resides inside the Broomloan :-) ) There is a little plaque in the trophy room with something to do with Argyle .... can't for the life of me remember what though.
