RANGERS will honour the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns this Saturday with the world famous Red Hot Chilli Pipers headlining the celebrations at Ibrox.

 

Kirk Broadfoot with the Red Hot Chili PipersFirst-team star Kirk Broadfoot joined the band at Murray Park today to promote this weekend's activity,

 

The Club is marking the special anniversary of The Bard at the SPL match against Dundee United this weekend when the award-winning pipers perform in his honour in front of more than 50,000 Rangers supporters.

 

In addition, four season ticket holders named 'Robert Burns' will be introduced onto the pitch at half time, there will be a celebratory procession of 30 children around the pitch, the Rangers cheerleaders will perform a special dance routine and haggis pies will be available at the food outlets.

 

The Rangers Supporters Assembly, representing Rangers fans worldwide, have also organised 1,200 giant Saltires and Lion Rampant flags to be displayed in the Broomloan, Copland and Govan Stands.

 

Rangers Chief Executive Martin Bain said: "The Rangers fans have a strong affinity with Robert Burns and we have worked with supporters to mark the 250th anniversary of a true Scottish hero.

 

"Burns is renowned around the globe and as one of Scotland's greatest institutions it is only fitting the Club honours our national poet."

 

The Burns celebrations, which started last week at the Club's Annual Burns Supper, mark the start of a series of initiatives that Rangers Football Club is running as part of Homecoming Scotland 2009.
