I have vague recollections of the Rangers 3rd team playing a friendly at Helenvale Street in the late 60's, and I'm sure Alex Ferguson was in the Rangers team, as he had fallen from favour, to the point where he wasn't even getting a reserve game.
Can anyone help my fading memory

The thing is Andy yours is obviously a complimentary ticket for the main stand the other one is for the terracing which were discovered in a cupboard in Helenvale Park when it switched over to the Astro-turf park in the very early 1980's. The game did take place Andy and was kicked off by the Duke of York who later became King George the present Queen's father. Rangers were winning by six goals to nil when the referree called a halt to it after about forty minutes. The Queen Mother played a tennis match on the tennis courts in the park before she and the King were presented with a silver football which opened up like a faberge egg to reveal a solid silver Glasgow Tramcar. The Duke of York then rededicated the Whitevale Garage Memorial to the 15th Glasgow Tramways Battalion in the forecourt of the new Parkhead Tramways Depot.

I have three Andy... ;D The story I heard was they were found in some old cupboard in the Admin Centre when it was being renovated for use as the Astro Turf Stadium which is quite feasible if you remember that it was very seldom used by the general public prior to the Astro Turf Stadium being opened. Even when the Waverley used it as dressing rooms and played our home games at Westthorn it was still pretty ancient and spartan in so far as changing acommodation was concerned...I genuinely believe that the tickets are legit Andy. It was a shame how the park was allowed to fall into disrepair as in effect it was a War Memorial Park in memory of the Tramways Battalion. H.R.H. Duke of York kicks off the game between Partick Thistle and Rangers at the opening of Helenvale Park. PS Bye the way Andy is it true you and Big Andrews dogged school that day and got a lift 'er to the gemme... ;D
