Moses McNeil’s grave at St.Modan’s Parish Churchyard Rosneath

 

Over the last few years while working on the Founders project we had the pleasure of meeting on a few occasions the late great Sandy Jardine.

He spoke often about a memorial for Moses McNeil at the Rosneath churchyard where he is buried but sadly fate was to lend a hand before that particular project was to come to fruition.

The plot where Moses was laid to rest has a stone with the names of Duncan Gray (Moses Brother-in-law) and his sisters Isabella and Elizabeth inscribed.

Sadly the name of the man who gave our Club it’s name of Rangers doesn’t appear , this would be down to the fact that Moses was the last one to pass away .

Today we’re delighted to announce to the worldwide Rangers support that the project will be completed next month by way of an engraved granite plaque which will be placed at Moses final resting place.

The Gravestone will also be cleaned and brought back to it’s original condition and the fading lettering re-done.

The granite plaque is being donated and the work that will be carried out is at minimal cost which will be met by donations already made to the Sons of Struth Memorial Fund.

For this we sincerely thank fellow Rangers supporter David Calderwood and those at the SOS memorial project.

A dedication service which will be conducted by the parish minister Rev Christine Murdoch will be held at Moses final resting place at St.Modan’s Parish Churchyard Rosneath Road, Rosneath on Sunday 28th June at 2pm to which all are welcome.
