Rangers legends attend Blantyre landlord's 'Follow We Will' book launch

A Blantyre publican has launched his very own Rangers fan book in the presence of some Gers legends.

Stan Gordon, owner of the Stonefield Tavern, co-wrote 'Follow We Will' with long term friend and fellow Rangers fan, Stuart Thompson, from Sussex.

The book contains 34 stories from Rangers fans across the world - all recounting their memories over the years of following their beloved team around the continent.

And Stan and Stuart were delighted to be able to launch the book in the same week their team lifted their first Scottish Premiership title trophy in 10 years.

What's more, they were joined by fellow fans all keen to get their hands on the book.

That included former Rangers players Gordon Durie, Andy Goram, Nacho Novo, Ian Durrant, Derek Johnstone, as well as Scots' reality TV star, Rangers supporter Brian Matthews, who owns the newly opened Lounge 72 Rangers bar in Uddingston.

Stan, who also manages the Rangers Legends charity football team, told Lanarkshire Live : "It was a great occasion for myself and Stuart to finally see our hard work come to fruition.

"A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the launch to support this venture and of course to our friends, Rangers legends Andy Goram, Ian Durrant, Derek Johnstone, Nacho Novo and Gordon Durie.

"Thank you also to Brian Matthews, of Glow fame, who invited us to hold a second launch at his new Lounge 72 bar in Uddingston. Two very successful launch events were held."
