Club records would suggest that in terms of length of service to Rangers Football Club, George Goudie would not readily be thought of as one of the great figures in our history.

 

It was for one act, though, we are forever, literally, in his debt……

George Gillespie.

George was a member of the legendary 1877 Scottish Cup Final team and gave great service to the Rangers.

 

He started his career as an outfield player but is remembered more for his goalkeeping skills. He appeared for Scotland 7 times during his playing career, never on the losing side.

 

He was a very successful business man in the license trade and owned what is now the Neighbourhood Room and Kitchen Bar in the Finnieston Area of Glasgow.

George lived at Radnor Street facing Kelvingrove Park and sadly passed away there in 1900.

These men gave us everything that we still enjoy today and this is us giving them back a little bit of dignity and respect.
