We have a 30 minute break which gives everyone a chance to purchase food and refreshments. During our day we’ll take you to the birthplace of our club and then take the journey around Glasgow that our Founders took during our early years. Before we tour our magnificent Ibrox Stadium we’ll visit Craigton Cemetery which will give you an insight into our Restoration of Rangers Graves Project. All in our day will be complete by 5.30pm.To avoid disappointment please reserve your seat early as the Founders Trail does sell out very quickly.Prices are as follows.Adults £30Children (under 16) and Senior Citizens £20Reserve your seat here thefounderstrail.co.ukFor further information phone: 0790 2855536.*Face masks must be worn at all times while on the coach and within Ibrox Stadium*

A number of weeks ago we managed to locate in Darvel the final resting place of Rangers great Alec Smith. My colleague Gordon made contact with his Great Grandson who gave consent on behalf of the family for us to restore the plot.This was done yesterday.
Born in Darvel Ayrshire, Alec Smith signed for Rangers in April 1894 from local side Darvel FC having been introduced at the suggestion of Nicol Smith(a defender who had made the same move a year earlier and came from the same village,but was not a relation).He stayed with Rangers for 21 years until retiring in 1915, was part of Rangers' treble winning teams of 1896–97, 1899–1900 and 1910–11, and played in 69 of the club's 74 matches during their run of four consecutive championships from 1898 to 1902. In total he made 634 appearances for the club (the fourth-highest tally in the history of the club)and scored an incredible haul of 200 goals.He was described in a publication the Scottish Referee in 1913 as being “a player of magnificence,style and beauty” and a man of “great character”.Alec received 20 caps in total for Scotland during his career,as well as representing the Scottish League 14 times.He returned to his native Darvel at the end of his footballing career to work in a lace-making business in which he was a partner.Sadly Alec Smith passed on 12th November 1954 just days after his 74th birthday.Today we remember Rangers great Alec Smith.
