Popular Post The Moonlighter 3,624 Posted April 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2019 Margaret Ferguson was only 18 years old when she lost her life at Ibrox Stadium on the 2nd January 1971. She was also the only female to die in the tragedy. Over the last couple of years ,as part of our Restoration of Rangers Graves Project, our colleague Chris Beglin has restored the bench in Markinch, which had been placed in memory of the five boys who tragically died that fateful day, and the Robert Mulholland memorial bench in Glasgow. With this in mind we were contacted in January by Ian McLeod Milne ,who organises the Annual Supporters Memorial Service at Ibrox, with a view to restoring the bench that had been placed in memory of Margaret at Muiravonside Cemetery. Subsequently I had the pleasure of meeting Margaret’s sister Mary at the Ibrox Memorial Service earlier this year. We contacted Falkirk Council and they gave their consent for the bench to be removed, restored and put back in place. Once again our man Chris, and his colleague Stevie, got to work and we’re delighted to say that Margaret’s bench has been restored and was put back in place today with her sister Mary and niece Annette in attendance. Our sister Margaret Ferguson will be in our hearts forever.

Popular Post tannerall 25,935 Posted April 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2019 I always take the opportunity in threads about the tragedy to remind everyone that those who were taken from us, those who were injured,, those who witnessed the tragedy, and most especially the relatives, friends, and also, importantly, the people who helped dealt with the aftermath, many, many of whom still have to deal with those awful memories, that to this day they too are still deep in the hearts of so many of us Rangers fans. Well done @The Moonlighter. We will never forget. Respect to those who suffered and grieved and those who still suffer and grieve. scottyscott1963, McEwan's Lager, bo'nessbear and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Widow's Son 399 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Very interesting history piece. Thanks to all involved in any way. Made me very proud to read this. Living so far away at the time, I have very hazy memories of the event but I've done some research in recent years to find out the details and to remember what I'd forgotten.
