Our Founders Who Continued to Follow Follow The Rangers…to Hampden.
Our Founders Who Continued to Follow Follow The Rangers…to Hampden.
During our research into the lives of the kids who formed Rangers we were curious to find if they attended matches later in life to witness first hand how that seed they had planted at Fleshers Haugh in 1872 had now grown into a worldwide football institution.
We had discovered that the great Tom Vallance was present on the very day that our magnificent Main Stand opened in 1929, Tom was also a guest of the Club in 1933 for the New Year’s Day game against Celtic and again when we entertained Sporting Club of Vienna later that season.
A few years ago our research discovered this newspaper article from 1905 which mentions both Tom Vallance and Moses McNeil making the pilgrimage to Hampden for our Scottish Cup Final against Third Lanark!
This is two of the teenage boys who were there during those early days of our Club supporting the Rangers both now in their fifties.
That must’ve given them both an incredible sense of achievement and satisfaction.
