Minute's Silence for Ian McColl


Recommended Posts

RANGERS legend Ian McColl will be honoured at Hampden tonight in lieu of his role as Scotland manager in the early 1960s.

 

The key member of the legendary Iron Curtain defence passed away on October 24 at the age of 81.

 

He was manager of Scotland between 1961 and 1965 and famously defeated England 2-1 at Wembley in 1963 when Jim Baxter scored both goals. He won 16 of the 27 internationals he was in charge of.

 

The SFA will be having a minute's silence before the match tonight for him and Mr Pedro Pompilio the President of Boca Juniors and 1st Vice President of the Argentine FA who also passed away in recent weeks.

 

The Scotland players will also be wearing black armbands.
