Don't think this will amount to much I think its just a muck raking exercise by fans of the old rangers but I'm pretty sure old rangers or former board members also got pretty good deals from GCC.

Yeah I do remember this was a total shambles but I also remember having one for the 2 poor girls Ian Huntley murdered, which I found really strange.
Yet the club didn't have one for Don McVicar or even Jimmy Davidson.

On this day in history we beat Hearts away with Tommy Ledgerwood scoring while injured http://partickthistleahistory.wikifoundry.com/page/v+Hearts+%28A%29+Nov1950
Also happy birthday to former Thistle stars Andy Roddie, Derek Johnstone and Darren Brady.
