Hugh Donaldson is a ‘life-long Rangers fan’, and he opened: “The past few seasons have not been great but, hopefully, we are on the way back to the top league.
“I was a central defender when I played football but not at any great level.
“I’ve always admired good centre-halves and how they play the game.
“Great pivots playing in Scotland in my time have been George Young, Ronnie McKinnon, Billy McNeill, Ian Ure, Richard Gough and Terry Butcher.”
Hugh, from Stobswell, Dundee, continued with a query.
“This concerns another centre-half called Colin Jackson, who sadly died last year.
“I reckon he was born in Stirling but others said he signed for Rangers from an Aberdeen junior side.
“Can BwB clear this up?”
Jackson, who played over 500 times for Rangers, won eight full Scotland caps, and some files
suggest he was born in London.
I have no files which indicate where he was brought up but he certainly played for Aberdeen sides Banks O’ Dee and Sunnybank before joining up at Ibrox.
After leaving Rangers, Jackson played briefly with Morton and Partick Thistle.
