On the 30th March 1901 our Founder Peter McNeil passed at Hawkhead Asylum in Glasgow.
He rests in Craigton Cemetery with his brothers William and James and parents John and Jean.
Rangers team-mate William Dunlop wrote in the SFA Handbook of 1881. Using the name ‘True Blue’ that ‘’Genial Peter McNeil would travel on a Saturday morning to a desirable part of the Glasgow Green, set up the noted standards and stand guard until the classic hour came when he would be joined by his friends’’.
We felt this was a very dramatic and moving image and commissioned a painting to be done depicting this scene .
The painting by artist Helen Runciman hangs at the top of the Marble Staircase at Ibrox.
In September 2009 Peter McNeil’s Granddaughter Heather Lang unveiled the Founders Plaque at the Glasgow Green Football Centre which marks the momentous spot in the city where our Club was born.

24TH March 1887.
Rangers required funds to help with the move from Kinning Park to First Ibrox subsequently a committee was formed which was chaired by Tom Vallance.
The ‘’Monstre Concerts’’ which were organised proved to be extremely popular and quickly sold out.
The outlets shown at the bottom of the advert show that tickets could be purchased from Harry and Peter McNeil’s shop on Union Street , and from George Gillespie and James Watson who both played in that legendary series of games that was the 1877 Scottish Cup Final.
This was the lads who’d formed our Club, and others from our early years, fund-raising to help their dream become a reality.
This was the Rangers in the process of moving to Ibrox and somewhere we could call home.
The Waterloo Rooms stood on the corner of Waterloo Street and Wellington Street.
In 1910 it became The Alhambra Theatre which was demolished in 1971.
Today it’s the Alhambra House office block.
