January 2, 1971

54 years later we remember the victims of the Ibrox disaster. Leading to 66 deaths, including the lives of many children, and more than 200 injuries, the Ibrox disaster, which took place on Stairway 13 closest to the Copland Road stand, was the worst football disaster until the Bradford Stadium fire in 1985, followed by Hillsborough four years later. later. No one should ever go to a football game and not come home. Today we remember those who lost their lives in the tragedy and the heartache it caused families, then, now and always.

You will never walk alone.
