Bit of old Ibrox goes on sale
A SEAT from Ibrox stadium believed to be from the 1920s will be auctioned this week.
The oak and cast iron seat was retrieved when the Glasgow Rangers' stadium was being upgraded in the 1970s.
Auctioneers say seat No 258 could fetch 300 on Thursday.
Brian Clements, of McTear's Auctioneers, said: "Over the years we have sold some fantastic pieces of sports memorabilia, including signed shirts, footballs and even Faberg eggs.
"But I can safely say this is the first time a stadium seat has come to auction.
"When the seller, who has asked to remain anonymous, brought it in, we quickly realised that this was a rare piece of memorabilia from a very important era in Rangers history.
"I have no doubt that it will attract a fair bit of interest at auction."
The sale will take place at McTear's Auctioneers in Glasgow.
