The great Eric Caldow was given a personal tour of Ibrox this week.

Signed by Bill Struth in 1952 from Muirkirk Jnrs, he made 407 apps,

winning 5 Titles, 2 Scot Cups & 3 Lge Cups & was Captain in 1961 ECWC Final.

A real Rangers Legend.

Yeh, i was told about this at the Burns Night the other night. Eric is now in a wheelchair and suffers from Alzheimers. I hear Jimmy Millar is not that great either.

On a  more positive note Davy Wilson was at the Burns Night he is 81 bht still fighting fit

The view from the back of our new Main Stand in 1928, taken before it’s official opening v celtic on 1st January 1929.

Looked just the same when I went to the family section there for the first time in 1986 lol.

This was the poster produced by Real Madrid to advertise the European Cup

First Round tie v Rangers in October 1963, the only time we have played them.

1ST class memorabilia, superb, well jealous

120 Years ago on the 13th April 1898 a supper was held in Tom Vallance’s Metropolitan Restaurant at 40 Hutchison Street, Merchant City Glasgow.

It was held to mark the 21st Anniversary of our first Scottish Cup Final in 1877 v Vale of Leven.

It was this series of games that was to change the course of our Club’s history.

The small memorial plaque at the bottom of the invitation lists players whom we’d sadly lost since the Cup Final.

Sandy Marshall, Peter Campbell, William Dunlop and goalkeeper James Watt.

As a footnote, Tom Vallance was actually having the results of Rangers matches wired to his restaurants and announced to his patrons as early as the 1890’s.

Red socks with black tops? 

Rather odd but seems we wore them in 2-0 home defeat to scum 30/9/2001. https://leftmidfielder.wordpress.com/2017/09/28/ger-seys-a-short-history-of-Rangers-kits-from-1987-onwards-part-two-the-nike-years/ has an explanation for it.

The shorts were the standard white, and as plain as you can get, with no piping or pinstripes. The socks were a bit more contentious. While Rangers had previously not shied away from using sock colours other than the historical black and red, the announcement that the team would wear red socks with black tops during the forthcoming season was met worth consternation, and the club quickly backtracked.

Figure 14 Rangers’ 01-02 home kit, as per launch

That’s the story I vaguely remember at the time, and Denis Hurley asked if I’d be covering it in this piece. While I’ve found a photograph of the kit launch with Barry Ferguson sporting said red socks, I can’t find anything from the club that acknowledges the red socks were a mistake. They were certainly only worn in one competitive match – oddly against celtic at home in the league in September.image.png.0076bb20755e197b1cd3303f42c0784e.png
