A Dedication to Mr Struth. Craigton Cemetery Glasgow Saturday 17th September 12pm.

A thank you from the Rangers support to our greatest ever manager.

 

The final resting place of our greatest ever manager Mr William Struth is at Craigton Cemetery . Fittingly it overlooks the front door of Ibrox Stadium.

Two years ago the stone on Mr Struth’s plot was restored but we at the Rangers Graves Restoration Project felt , that as we approach the 60th anniversary of his passing on 21st September 2016 , that his incredible achievements at the club should be highlighted by way of a granite plate on his final resting place.

 

We of course sought and gained the permission from the Struth family for the plate to be placed after which we raised the necessary funds to have the plate cut which will be put in place soon.

 

A dedication service conducted by Rangers Chaplin Stuart MacQuarrie will be held at Mr Struth’s final resting place on Saturday 17th September 2016 at 12pm.

 

All are welcome .

Glad to hear things went so well would have been there but for family commitments before the game.Keep up the good work you are doing wonders in highlighting our "Gallant Pioneers and players/managers".

Will contribute again when finances dictate.
