*Manticore* 1,893 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I picked up a couple of old programmes from the St Johnstone shop on Tuesday. One was for the opening game of 1963/64 season and had an article by the then Chairman, John Lawrence. I liked how it finished: And so we are off on another campaign, and while it is not in mortals to command success, I can assure you no effort will be too great, no sacrifice considered as such in our determination to bring further honour to the Rangers Football Club. I have never promised unbroken success. In this particular game, set backs must be suffered sometimes, but this I can promise you with confidence – everyone within The Stadium will work and plan with but one aim, the greater glory of our Club.
