THE GREAT JIM BAXTER -A REAL LEGEND
If any London Branch member, member of any Rangers supporters club or any individual wants to publicise a social event that will be of interest to Rangers supporters in the London area we will be pleased to include them in this page. Please e-mail Robbie on jenkins55@btinternet.com with information and contact details about the event.
Please Note - We have highlighted matches being shown at the Cock Tavern in our Social Calendar. It should be stressed that the London Branch are a travelling club with members travelling to all Rangers matches. We get a very healthy allocation of match tickets which non members can apply for. Our aim is to help members who are able to travel to matches and those who can't. Please go to our Tickets and Travel page on this website if you require match tickets for any Rangers game.
