craig 5,199 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Is that Bomber Brown in the middle 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,174 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Looks like reds v blues pre-season. The hero in the middle about to be toppled by Harold is Sammy Baird. The other chap looks like Willie Telfer. If so that's a life-threatening situation for Sammy. Just as well he was a hardy lad himself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) The first team always played the reserves pre-season, IIRC it was sometimes referred to as Rangers Sports Day (or that might have been something else) or something like that with a bit of athletics thrown in for good measure.

Scott7 5,174 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) The Rangers Sports Day was a mid-summer event attracting entries from world class athletes with a five-a-side football tournament to swell crowds to 30,000 + Ibrox was also the venue for Glasgow City Police Sports earlier in summer. As you say, BH, first team (blues) v reserves (reds) was the big pre-season event again with crowds at ver 30,000 Edited March 23, 2017 by Scott7 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) First team vs reserves was when they took the pre-season picture. I never did get past Part 1 of the series I was going to write Edited March 23, 2017 by BrahimHemdani 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEARGER 1,829 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 First team vs reserves was when they took the pre-season picture. I never did get past Part 1 of the series I was going to write That brings back memories. Couple of names I don't remember; Moore, McCartney, McLardie & Vint. Did they play for first team at any time. Sutherland, is that Bob Sutherland the ex Indoor Bowls world champion? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
