The famous 'RFC' Scroll crest is instantly recognisable to football fans across the world and is steeped in history.
There are a few mitigating circumstances as to how yours truly landed with the unenviable task of detailing the contribution John Greig MBE has made to Rangers over his distinguished and well documented career. Firstly, I stupidly announced that I have some spare time on my hands at the moment, and actually volunteered this idea in the Gersnet writers forum. Secondly, John Greig was Rangers manager when I started going to watch Rangers on a regular basis. I was lucky enough to witness John as a player (and what a player he was) and given the fact of his illustrious playing career, I felt it unfair to solely focus on his managerial career (as was the thought at the time).
Tours of the stadium are available - see the official Rangers website for details.
The Rangers Training Centre opened in 2001; cost £14million and is situated in Milngavie - to the North West of Glasgow. It was named after previous Rangers owner and Chairman Sir David Murray and was originally commonly known as Murray Park. In 2012, after the 1899 company's liquidation due to financial mismanagement of the club, the fans decided to remove the disgraced former owner's name from the centre.
Two tragic events in Rangers history will remain defining moments for every Rangers supporter. They stand as a gauge of football's real importance while reminding every football fan of just how safety and organisation are a huge necessity at our stadia.

The name of Archibald Leitch might not be well known to many fans but if ever a man who was not a footballer deserves his name on the Ibrox Hall of Fame it's he. Born in Glasgow, Leitch became football clubs' stadium architect of choice. His stands and terraces could be found at every major ground in the country. Millions of fans stood on and loved the terraces that he created - Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Fulham and many more all had Archie to thank; for it was him that designed and constructed their footballing homes.
Below you can find just some of the sources we used for the archive (or for our general knowledge for many of the main site articles). Many thanks especially go to Chic Sharp for his legendary spreadsheet and all the knowledgeable bears who have contacted me with information. Thanks to those bears who go to the time and trouble to upload video footage of important matches to Youtube (and to the copyright holders who may overlook such an essential service).
