    [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=class: alt2]Originally Posted by Sevilla 2-0 Rangers - Cup-Winners Cup, 26th September 1962. Not every foreign team was so friendly. The Spaniards didn't take too kindly to Gers 4-2 aggregate win and there was a free for all at the end of the game, with the spectator on the right punching Ralph Brand (just off picture), Willie Henderson being chased around the park by some of the home players, while another is fighting with an unnamed Gers player in the background!: [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] According to Jim Baxter's book (The party's over) the hostilities were resumed at the post match banquet when an unnamed Rangers player followed the Spanish centre half into the gents and battered him. The player who usually didn't drink had taken a few sherbets and had to be dragged off the screaming Spaniard by other Rangers players. I was thinking about the identity of the Ranger involved and I think Davy Wilson or Ralph Brand didn't drink in those days so could be suspects

The First Image of William McBeath. During our research over the last few years into the Founders story we've been very fortunate to unearth some gems which have helped to enhance this incredible tale of the lads who formed Rangers Football Club back in 1872 for the world-wide Rangers support. However, one item had remained elusive, an image/photograph of William McBeath. Well, today that changes as we have finally found our man! As usual with our research the ‘gems’ seem to be uncovered by chance whilst on the hunt for something else (I was on the trail of a portrait of Tom Vallance). As well as William’s portrait there is a fantastic bio that not only gives us more information on his life but it also gives us an insight into the early days and formation of the club. As you might have noticed the article has his name as MacBeth rather than the correct spelling of McBeath. The name change happened as soon as Willliam and his family moved south to Bristol (the census records for 1881 has the family name as MacBeth). We can only guess at why he changed it. One thing that we did know about William that the article talks about was the presentation of the gold badge from the club. Here is the report from the Scottish Athletic Journal from 1884. It was also nice to have it confirmed that he was also an artist like his friend Tom Vallance. The following clipping has a few of his paintings he had entered in to a local art exhibition. It’s nice to finally put a face to William and add some meat to the bones of his story. http://www.thegallantpioneers.co.uk/...m-McBeath.html[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
