Queen mother will be telling husband George VI that's where her father stood in the copland in the bygone days of yore.
 
The Ibrox floodlights. I think this is Davie Wilson's goal v Rapid Vienna, 18th November 1964.

Seen the second picture somewhere before - maybe it's in Rangers The New Era? That was the book I got brought up on.
 
This is an amazing picture and ultimately horrible too. Its the 1902 Scotland v England game at Ibrox. The back of the new West Tribune stand collapsed as a result of heavy rainfall the previous night it is believed. It was a wooden terrace supported by a steel frame . Hundreds of supporters fell up to 40 feet to the ground resulting in 25 fatalities and 517 injuries. If you notice a dark section at the back of the terrace this is exactly where the collapse happened. Could it be that the photographer accidentally captured the moment as it happened?
