Rangers are to hold a service to commemorate the 66 people killed in the Ibrox disaster of 1971. The service will take place at Ibrox on January 2 and relatives of the dead have been invited to participate in the unveiling of a bronze statue.
The club will open their doors to those who wish to attend and the service is to be transmitted via video screens.
Rangers have made contact with a number of relatives, but have been unable to trace others.
Chairman David Murray, who is to unveil the statue, said: 'The club has publicly stated its commitment to the families of the bereaved and shareholders that when the overall modernisation of the stadium was complete, a fitting memorial to all those who lost their lives would be erected.'
News of the deaths in 1971 shocked the world of football and 145 other people were also injured at the end of the game against Celtic.
No action was taken against the Ibrox board, although they did begin the modernisation plans.
