MisterC 12,263 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Was reading this earlier at work, an interview with Tiny Gallacher who worked at the club for 50 years in numerous roles. Sad to see she is in a nursing home with dementia but still has good stories to share. We talk about legends of the club and wee Tiny certainly is one who was very much part of the fabric of the club. Well worth a read... https://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/18075186.family-affair-ibrox-club-cook-tiny-gallacher-looks-back-50-years-rangers-fc/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I met her once during a tour of Ibrox when we were in the 3rd division. I think she was only working part time then. Can’t believe she’s in a nursing home with dementia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Enclosure Row N 2,820 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 On another note - I read elsewhere that today is the very last issue of the Evening Times. Tomorrow it gets rebranded the Glasgow Times and becomes a daily paper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there might have been some racing or minor football reports in there too, plus next week fixtures. That was a nice wee story to read, feel @Blue Nosed Babe could maybe offer us a lot more insight and interest ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
