RANGERS legend Sandy Jardine led the tributes today for the annual commemoration of those who have lost their lives at Ibrox Stadium.

 

Jardine along with Director of Football Gordon Smith, Supporters Assembly president Andy Kerr and Supporters Liaison Officer Jim Hannah laid a wreath at the John Greig Statue at the corner of the Copland Road and Bill Struth Stands.

 

Every year Rangers pay their respects to those who lost their lives in the horrific Disaster of 1971, the tragedy from 10 years earlier in which two men died and also to others who have lost their lives at the ground over the decades.

 

Last year there was a special memorial service for the victims of the 1971 Disaster when 66 supporters died and 145 were injured in a terrible crush on Stairway 13.

 

It remains the worst tragedy in Scottish football and the events of that day and those which followed are indelibly etched in the minds of the players involved at that time.

 

Gers legend Jardine, who still works for the club, played that fateful day when his side came from behind to level Jimmy Johnstone's opener through Colin Stein.

 

There will be a minute's silence ahead of today's SPL game with Motherwell.

Where was Mr Whyte?

 

Well spotted. Ali Russell wasn't there either by the looks of it even although he and Whyte were at The Loving Cup Ceremony and at the game.
