Supporter George Nelson who lost his life in the 1961 accident at Ibrox Stadium.

 

Craigton Cemetery is 5 minutes from Ibrox Stadium and we’d like to offer this guided Tour of the final resting places to any supporters who find themselves in the area before the Hearts game this coming Saturday 19th August,it will take no longer than one hour.

 

Many supporters clubs from Northern Ireland arrive at Ibrox around 12pm, would this Tour appeal to any of your members?

 

There is no fee for the Tour although donations to The Restoration of Rangers Graves Project will be received with thanks.

 

To allow you to plan in advance, and If the demand is there, we will also look at another Tour on:
