Since the Restoration of Rangers Graves Project was launched in 2014 we’ve restored 36 plots. These have ranged from Founders,Presidents, Chairman, Managers, Players and fellow supporters of our Club who perished at the Ibrox disasters. As our restoration work continues we’re needing help from anyone within the industry who can spare some time to help us with the re-erecting, cleaning and re-lettering of stones. If you have experience in this field and would like to get involved in the project please send an email to thefounderstrail@gmail.com or call 0790 2855536 for a chat.

Yesterday I had the honour and pleasure of attending the event to unveil a new stone on the plot of Rangers great Neilly Gibson at Larkhall Cemetery. Thank so much to all those who attended. The grave had lain unmarked since 1947. Gone but never Forgotten. Neilly Gibson: NEILLY GIBSON joined Rangers when he was still a teenager from junior side Royal Albert and went on to enjoy more than a decade of service with the club. A man who would become a 14-times capped Scotland international, he would go on to win six major honours with the Rangers including four league championships. Defender Gibson was an ever-present in the 1898/99 league campaign when Gers won every one of their 18 matches to win the title by 10 points. Indeed, he scored three times in the two biggest wins that campaign, notching a double in an 8-0 rout of Clyde and scoring from the penalty spot in a 10-0 thrashing of Hibernian. That championship win was the first of four consecutively and in the first three campaigns Gibson missed only three games overall. Playing 377 times overall for Rangers – including in 184 competitive fixtures with 14 goals – he later spent five years in Partick Thistle’s squad. Gibson had three sons – Neil, Willie and James – with all three going on to follow in their father’s footsteps as they played the beautiful game. In James’ case, he emulated his dad by playing for Scotland and also scored once against Wales in 1929, some 32 years after his parent had struck against Northern Ireland. Neilly Gibson (1894-1905) Appearances: 184. Goals: 14. Honours: Four league titles, Two Scottish Cups. 14 caps (Scotland).

This coming Saturday folks.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by and met a Joel Leslie who informed me that he has been researching the story of the Rangers team from season 1899 who of course set that incredible record of winning every league match, Joel’s aim is to publish a book on his work. During his extensive research Joel sadly discovered in Larkhall the unmarked grave of an integral member of this great Rangers team Neilly Gibson. The plot has been unmarked since 1947. We of course agreed that this would have to be rectified , Joel in turn got the necessary consent from Neilly Gibson’s family. We at the Restoration of Rangers Graves Project have donated a sum to assist the funding of this project. On Saturday 16th November at 12pm a dedication event will be held in Larkhall Cemetery, the cemetery is at Station Road Larkhall ML9 2DB. All Welcome.
