1971 Ibrox Disaster Remembered - Rangers FC staff and fans gather to remember the 66

A two minute's silence has been held to pay tribute to the football fans who died in the Ibrox disaster 53 years ago.

Sixty six Rangers supporters died in the crush at the Old Firm football game on January 2, 1971, and more than 200 were injured.

On the 53rd anniversary of the disaster on Tuesday (January 2), a memorial service and two-minute silence was held at the John Greig memorial statue at 1.30pm, in remembrance of those who lost their lives.

Fans were joined by manager Philippe Clement, members of the Rangers family and board members at the Light Blues ground.

Wreaths were placed at the memorial, with the special message 'always remember'.
