Official Pictures from the Glasgow Civic reception to mark 150 Years of Rangers FC

[giffnockloyal]

Martin Bain and Amy McDonald Womens and Girls manager.

Why the %^*& is Bain there?

 

[Grizzly_Bear]

The fucks Mike Mulraney and Rod Petrie doing there?

Also, Martin Bain?

Was wondering that too, pair of fukin wankers representing the SFA?

Hopefully they got a kicking on their way out

 

[The Huguenot]

David Holmes doesn't get the credit he deserves. He completely transformed our football club.

 

[mdingwall]

For good or bad - he and others there tonight are all part of the Rangers Story.

We need to discuss Gio's choice of footwear. Brown brogues should surely be the rigour for such an occasion.
That aside, fantastic to see so many well kent faces that are associated with our great club. Nice touch to see Mrs Wallace and Mrs Smith in attendance.

Cracking pictures and thanks for sharing Mark.

Craig Whyte show up ?

 

[remembertheepoch]

Which fellow clubs attended?

 

[Harbour Bear]

Mr Holmes has hardly aged a day

 

[Japandroid]

David Holmes and Ethel Smith.

Satty Singh at the back?

Great to see David Holmes there, and of course, Ethel.

 

[AbronhillBear]

Loved seeing the picture of David Holmes. Looking in great health aswell. I know he doesn't like the limelight but really wish he would agree to come along to Ibrox at some point this season.

 

[Papatango]

Cheers Mark.

Great to see David Holmes looking so well. A hugely under appreciated man and one of the most important in the clubs history.

Brown brogues with a dark suit. Deary me. You obviously weren’t a Boy’s Brigade boy.

I know who they're representing, but I'd rather they sent a card or something.

Pair of Rangers hating bastards, smiling through clenched teeth all night I bet.

 

[mdingwall]

Satty Singh at the back?

Satty, Bobby and their dad were all there.

 

[Beansie]

Grado and Shellsuit Boab?!

 

[Loyal72]

@mdingwall Do we know which Premiership clubs sent representatives?

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Certainly was. Brown looks classier than black

 

[Stuhercules]

Did Susan Aitken attend ?

 

[mdingwall]

@mdingwall Do we know which Premiership clubs sent representatives?

Stewart Robertson mentioned a few - St Mirren and Aberdeen I recall.

 

[mdingwall]

Did Susan Aitken attend ?

No. But local SNP MP Chris Stephen’s did and Tory Thomas Kerr and Labour’s George Redmond

 

[ronadamus_prime]

I thought David Holmes was dead... On account of the fact we've not heard a peep from him in decades. A man of action more than words it would seem, I can respect that.

 

[Loyal72]

Stewart Robertson mentioned a few - St Mirren and Aberdeen I recall.

Surprised at Aberdeen sending someone.

Fair play

 

[Twosignals]

How much did it hurt for Them to put that on for Us!

 

[Milger72]

Thanks for posting Mark.

 

[Japandroid]

Satty, Bobby and their dad were all there.

Brilliant. They're a great family.

 

[tambourineman]

Thanks for posting OP. That brought a wee tear to the eye; very touching to see Mrs Smith and Mrs Wallace in attendance.

 

[The Goalie]

No. But local SNP MP Chris Stephen’s did and Tory Thomas Kerr and Labour’s George Redmond

I'm going to guess the local MSP for Glasgow southside didn't show any of her many faces?

 

[Henrywatson115]

Giant Haystacks and Graydo.

The People

 

[EndOfDays]

Hoping @David Edgar was at this and we get to hear about an awkward encounter with Bain on tomorrow's DU.

 

[JMCK]

Really nice to see Mrs Wallace and Mrs Smith there, and looking well.

 

[Al Needham Loyal]

Thanks for sharing, Mark.

 

[Henrywatson115]

Non appearance of aitken says it all ,that's if she was asked

With a free buffet on the go I’m suprised that fat bint wasn’t there

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Great to see such a stellar turnout of Rangers legends of the past. Especially good to see Mr Holmes there with Mrs Wallace and Mrs Smith in attendance.

Not so great to see well known Rangers haters Mulraney and Petrie gorging at the banquet, nor is it great to see Bain there after all the bad work he did with the club, and he did a power of bad work. But as Mark says, he is part of the club, good or bad.

Good on Glasgow for putting this on for the club, we are Scotlands premier club after all and the most successful football club in Britian so why shouldn’t the club received a civic reception on its landmark 150th year?

 

[bilkobear]

The fucks Mike Mulraney and Rod Petrie doing there?

Also, Martin Bain?

A few thousand Rangers supporters should have broken into the chambers in their uncontained excitement at the one-in-150-year event.
Perhaps given Petrie a few slaps.
After all, he would have understood fully that it was just exuberance.

 

[bilkobear]

David Murray didn't make it?
Huh?

 

[bilkobear]

Brown brogues with a dark suit. Deary me. You obviously weren’t a Boy’s Brigade boy.

It's quite fashionable down in London.

 

[CrocodileDundee]

Was sturgeon there seeing as she represents the area where the biggest club in the country resides?

 

[Polar bear]

The fucks Mike Mulraney and Rod Petrie doing there?

Also, Martin Bain?

Everyone anyone

 

[vicbex]

Great to see David Holmes, the man who rescued Rangers. The day he introduced Souness is forever etched in my mind.

Thanks for posting Mark.

Yes yes yes. David Holmes, the man that started the revival. A true blue legend.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Very nice to see Campbell Ogilvie there. A man who was made to leave Rangers far too early.

Can't beat a bit of old fashioned exuberance. Couple of drop kicks and a few headbutts on the way out.

 

[GazzaG]

Why the %^*& is Bain there?

Because there's only one club that seeks to erase parts of it's history.

And that club isn't Rangers.

 

[1BrianLaudrup]

David Holmes and Campbell Ogilvie. That takes me back a bit. Had often wondered where David Holmes was these days and where he went/what he did after Rangers.

Listening to Heart and Hand's Dominant series made me appreciate for the first time the role David Holmes played, he was just before my time so all I knew was Murray. It struck me that you never hear anything about him after he left the club, I'm pleased just to see he's still with us and able to be there tonight.

 

[davyloyal]

Surprised Coisty wasn’t there. Is he on holiday, as he’s not on Talksport this week either?

Edit - he’s back this morning.

 

[WattieSmith]

Great photos and good to see the club receiving this civic reception. Echo all the posts regarding David Holmes…..

I liked Holmes but he was barely there a year and the Lawrence Grouo was overcommitted elsewhere and had pt Rangers into debt (although nothing like what was to come in later years) so let’s not get too varied away.

However, he had the vision to get Souness and the rest is history!

 

[shinyscot]

David Murray didn't make it?
Huh?

I was thinking similar - I'd assume he was invited and decided it wasn't appropriate for him to be there. He's more right to be there than Bain for example.

 

[Worthy_Candidate]

The City Chambers is a phenomenal building.
