Flowers laid in memory of Maddiston woman who died in Ibrox Disaster 50 years ago

Margaret Ferguson, from Maddiston, was just 18 when she was one of 66 fans killed in the tragedy on January 2, 1971.

On the anniversary of the disaster, a wreath was laid at a bench bearing her name at Muiravonside Parish Church.

A small plaque on it says simply: “In memory of Margaret Ferguson who died at the Ibrox Disaster on 2 January, 1971.”

Margaret was one of the fans caught up in the crush at Stairway 13 at the end of the Ne’er game between Rangers and Celtic.

She was one of 31 teenagers who lost their lives that day.

Margaret’s family were friends of Rangers’ striker, Colin Stein, who scored that day.

She had met the player - who knew her parents - after she delivered a home made teddy to his home shortly before Christmas.
