Popular Rangers pub the Bristol Bar has been lauded by Rangers supporters for their Remembrance Sunday display.

On Saturday the 9th November the Bar shone a stunning, moving poppy display onto the side of the pub in Glasgow’s east end.

It certainly caught the eye of supporters who went down to the bar to see the display and those who managed to catch videos of the Bristol Bar lit up in Remembrance via Twitter.

The special display certainly caught the eye of supporters and fellow Glaswegians alike who’ve come together over the weekend to remember those fallen in the two Great Wars.

Rangers put on a special Remembrance display at Ibrox against Motherwell in October when the club invited servicemen old and new to the ground to pay their respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day and Rangers welcomed veterans from Erskine, the Coming Home Centre in Govan and Glasgow’s Helping Heroes, as well as representatives from each of the services.

The club’s supporters were encouraged to donate to a Poppy Scotland bucket collection outside the ground and two veterans led the teams out whilst serving personnel from each branch of the forces carried a poppy to the centre spot for the minute’s silence.

The silence began and ended with the firing of an artillery gun by 207 (City of Glasgow) Battery, 105 Regiment Royal Artillery.

Rangers supporters have routinely applauded the club’s efforts in remembering the fallen.
