The main entrance at Ibrox has been changed, keeping in line with what it used to look like, as the desk was never original.

Guy played for Bayern Munich, Ajax, Chelsea and Milan but his first shirt for his first grandson is his 'best team'. Legend

Looks smart, that desk was a bit MFI ish for such a grand entrance hall.

I was going through some of my Grandfather's stuff and I came across a football newspaper supplement called, "Football Topical & Pictorial" from 1931 it has some Rangers articles in it, that's why he would have kept it. There is also and article describing the John Thomson, Sam English collision in another paper from the time but I can't find it at the moment.

The first one is regarding William Wilton and details his death by drowning, I have taken a picture of the article, apologies, as the article was written in a column and I had to take 4 pictures to get the article in, but they are in sequence so you can read it. 

The next one is relating to the 1902 Ibrox disaster, I couldn't photograph the whole article as it's large but I have included the picture.

The last one is a picture of the 1896/97 Rangers team, with names, with the Scottish Cup, The Charity Cup, and the Glasgow cup.

I notice the 'Sky Blue' colour of the jerseys in the above picture and know that in the early days of photography pictures were often coloured by the photographer so the colour may not be a true shade. I have a picture given to me by my daughters, for a birthday, entitled Rangers Jerseys Through the Ages, it was a sold by Rangers and in it the early strip, the one with the Clydesdale Rowing Club badge, is blue and not white as is most pictures, I have always wondered if we had a blue jersey from that period as well as the white.

The white one was a second strip;

David Mason's book The Official Rangers Story

During the course of his research for the book, Mason came into possession of a short hand-written autobiography penned by a Scottish man called James Hill in Canada before he died in 1946.

Hill had grown up in Glasgow in the 1860s and 1870s and had been present at Fleshers Haugh on Glasgow Green when the club formed by Moses McNeill, Peter McNeill, Peter Campbell and William McBeath played their first games.

Hill – the younger brother of the eminent early Rangers player and Scotland internationalist David, who is pictured in the iconic photograph of the 1877 Scottish Cup final team and also played in some first-team games himself – emigrated to Canada in 1882.

he wrote his memoirs before he passed away aged 86. In them, he recalls how members of the Argyle Cricket Club joined in games of football with the McNeill brothers, Campbell and McBeath and helped to establish the new club.

He also confirms the colours worn by the first side were light blue and reveals the name Rovers was considered when Rangers were constituted in 1873.

Thank you, so the figure of Moses McNeil in my picture of the jerseys is correctly coloured, I have said that the jersey was blue to a few people over the years only to be told it was always white with the blue badge.

Cheers.

Why must he go, why can't he stay
He gave his all, that he might play
He gave his all, each Saturday
And left his heart down Ibrox way.

England international Tom Finney described the ban as "a grave injustice".
