Generation of football enthusiasts honed their skills on
Bridgeton's "Glasgow Green"
and indeed it was the first home of Rangers FC and to this day 'Brigton' and Rangers have a certain special
relationship.
Rangers were formed
in 1872, and were the first club in the world to win 50
league titles in May 2003.
.
The club used a variety of grounds in Glasgow
as a venue for home matches in the years between 1872 &
1899.
The first was Flesher's Haugh, situated on
Bridgeton's Glasgow Green
Bill
Struth, arrived at Ibrox in 1914, and served the club as Trainer,
Manager and Director for 42 years.
His 34-year reign as Manager from 1920-54 is a club record that
will surely never be equalled.
"Our very
success, gained you will agree by skill, will draw more people than ever
to see it. And that will benefit many more clubs than Rangers. Let
the others come after us. We welcome the chase. It is healthy for
us. We will never hide from it. Never fear, inevitably we shall have our
years of failure, and when they arrive, we must reveal tolerance and
sanity. No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge
stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been
the
philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the gallant pioneers."
Bill Struth, Manager.
