Rangers fans gather to pay respects to Mary 'Tiny' Gallacher

Edmiston Drive was full of emotion as two white horses, draped in red, white and blue feathers, passed the front of the stadium. 

Mary, known as Tiny, was at Rangers for over 50 years before she sadly passed away in October.

People lined both sides of the road as the cortege passed through the street, with people bowing as it went by.

Known as 'Tiny' she was described as a "treasured friend" to players and staff at Rangers she crossed paths with.

At Cardonald Care Home in South Glasgow, her room was full of signed programmes, trophies and framed photos from all the club greats over the years.

Tiny started working at Ibrox in 1967 after following in the footsteps of her mother, Lizzie Love, and her grandmother Maggie Lindsay.

Speaking in a feature for the Glasgow Times, Tiny talked about how her grandmother had spoken about King George VI visiting Ibrox to formally open the Empire Exhibition in 1938.

Rangers ran in Tiny's family as her sister Irene worked alongside her in catering, her uncle Davy was head groundsman for a while, dad Willie cleaned the stands, and her husband John worked behind the bar in the Thornton Suite.

And the much-loved staff member was also invited to Monte Carlo, in 2001, to receive a special UEFA award on behalf of her loyal service to the club.

In 2014, Tiny was also awarded the John Greig Achievement Award for her dedication to the club.

And she was given a guard of honour from the players to mark her retirement by then manager, Steven Gerrard.

Upon arriving at the stadium, a private service had been held. 

Rangers legends such as Barry Ferguson and Craig Moore were in attendance, along with Rangers CEO James Bisgrove outside the stadium when the carriage passed.

Fans also took to social media to pay their respects with one user saying: "Tiny: the living legend! A lifetime of dedication to the club. What an achievement!"

Another: "Beautiful tribute and send off ...sleep tight gorgeous lady xx"

At the time of announcing Mary's passing, James Bisgrove said: "

“On behalf of everyone at Rangers football club we are deeply saddened to hear of Tiny’s passing.

“She dedicated her life to Rangers and worked at the club for more than five decades in a variety of roles.

“Tiny was a trusted friend and colleague to a host of Rangers legends and a much-cherished member of the Rangers family.

“Our thoughts are with her family at this sad and difficult time.”
