40 years ago today Rangers were playing Celtic when 66 people
were killed in a crush on stairwell 13 at Ibrox. The youngest was
8years old and the oldest was 49.
I send my thoughts and prayers to the families who lost loved ones
on that terrible day.
God Bless.

Hi GG,

Having visited Ibrox on several occasions prior to the tragedy, I can picture the area and feel for those who were involved.

What sad times for so many people, from an innocent afternoon out to a tragedy happening.
My thoughts are with all those who lost loved ones, and those who still suffer with injuries or memories to awful to think about.

Rest in peace all those who lost their lives in such a way.

My prayers and thoughts go out to all those who have suffered from this dreadful event,
My words are inadequate so I will simply say a prayer to encompass anyone who has been affected. Sometimes words are not enough.
God Bless you all
