THEY were just fans at a football match. Spectators at a game, a banal everyday occurrence. They were there to support their team, Rangers, but they never came home. Instead on Stairway 13 at Ibrox Park, they met with crushing death and injury. Even 50 years later the sheer unfairness of it makes you weep – no one should die for being a football spectator, no one should die in such a manner. Remember the 66. For the sake of our common humanity, remember the 66. I told last week of how the disaster unfolded, and now I will deal with the aftermath. It was the sight of the bodies laid out in lines on the turf of Ibrox Park that broke hearts all over Scotland and beyond. Only some grainy newspaper pictures survive to tell the tale, as there was no filming of what happened – a mercy, given what unfolded that cold, foggy evening in Glasgow.
Ibrox Disaster 50 years on: The fans who never came home from the Old Firm match after Stairway 13 tragedy Andy Ewan pictured at home in Dunoon with his match programme for the Rangers v Celtic match at Ibrox IT was supposed to be the start of a new year and new hope as families had just celebrated the bells 24 hours before. Parents, wives and children waved off their loved ones as fans headed to the traditional New Year derby between Rangers and Celtic. But within hours those same families who had said their goodbyes expecting to see their loved ones walk through the door that night, were left with the heartbreaking task of having to identify the bodies of the football fans who never came home.
