FOOTBALL: Rangers fans' UEFA reunion
A FORMER member of the Glasgow Rangers Supporters' Club Swindon branch is trying to arrange a reunion ahead of the UEFA Cup final.
Rangers take on Zenit St Petersburg on Wednesday night at the City of Manchester Stadium, and Jim Wright is appealing for any Wiltshire-based Gers travelling to the game to get in contact.
The Swindon branch was formed in 1992, initially made up of ex-pats from Scotland but within a couple of seasons had grown and included Rangers fans from across Great Britain and Ireland.
Wright, who is now based in Northern Ireland, said: "The journey was over 900 miles round trip.
"We used to leave the County Ground car park at 5am on a Saturday and didn't get home most weeks until about 3am on Sunday.
"But we never missed a home match in four seasons.
"At the UEFA Cup final we will also be unfurling a Swindon/Rangers banner and singing a song in memory of founder member Davy Parker, who sadly is no longer with us."
Anyone from Wiltshire who is travelling to the final and wants to meet up can email Jim Wright at jwright16@sky.com.
