A portrait of Rangers legend Tom Vallance has been fully restored thanks to the fund-raising efforts of supporters.

The 1891 painting of Vallance, one of the major figures in the early years of Rangers, was found in a cupboard at Ibrox.

Artist Helen Runciman was commissioned to bring the work back to its former glory and was at the unveiling on Saturday evening.

Supporters group and shareholders Club 1872 contributed £1320 towards the work and director Euan MacFarlane said: “Club 1872 were delighted to have the opportunity to part-fund the restoration of an important part of Rangers Football Club’s great history.

"Our focus at the moment is on trying to raise funds for the upcoming share issue to help us protect the club for future generations and to provide funds for Steven Gerrard’s player recruitment this summer.

"Despite this the projects side of the organisation remains important and we continue to look into more projects both large and small for the benefit of the Rangers community.”
