Good spot Hawkeye.
I can't stop looking at it.
The Gallant Pioneers photo is so familiar now, to have something new to inspect is brilliant!

Boy in the strip standing 2nd right of the 4 boys in the strip I think is N Smith who was part of the Scottish Cup winning team 93/94. Theres bound to be others in both these photos but I'll need to spend some more time on it. I'm currently comparing the above photo to photos that from around the same time in John Allen's The Story of Rangers. It's not very scientific and a hell of an exciting way to spend a Friday night.
Also I'm pretty sure the star on the watch chain is the same as the star from the Jersey.

If you look closely, you can see the Blackthorn sponsors on their tops

I don't see our 5th Lad, the incomparable Tom Valance, he was the club president at the time of this photograph.

Founder Peter McNeil is kneeling far left.
This was the Rangers team who played Preston in the match to open the first Ibrox in 1887. I'd have thought some of those men must be in the picture.
W. Chalmers; Donald Gow and John McCartney, John Cameron, John “Tuck” McIntyre and John Muir; Brown, Andrew Peacock, Alick McKenzie, Willie Pringle and Bob Brand.

I’m. Gonna have to disagree bud. That’s not the team picture from 1887. This picture is from 1888 (William Chalmers & John McCartney among others are not in this picture).

Hopefully Joe Morrison can confirm.
The museum is going to be fascinating.

Maybe he was taking the photo?
Sorry, I didn't mean the picture was from the Preston game in 1887. I just meant that surely some of the players from that game in 1887 would have still been at the club the following year so likely in this picture.I’m. Gonna have to disagree bud. That’s not the team picture from 1887. This picture is from 1888 (William Chalmers & John McCartney among others are not in this picture).

Didn't phrase it very well.
Incredible you can name as many.
Marvellous.
Another one for @dubwiser !
No doubt he'll prove me wrong, I'm wondering if the player sitting front left is Charlie Heggie, who scored 4 goals in a match for Scotland against Ireland then never got another cap.
Only ever seen a newspaper drawing of him rather than an actual photograph, it does have a resemblance.
