Rangers treasures up for sale - for the right price

03 December 2009 | By Adam Fraser

One of the most highly anticipated Scottish sports memorabilia auctions in recent years will see Rangers legend Alan Morton's 1926/27 Scottish League Championship medal go under the hammer, alongside a string of other memorabilia this weekend.

The medal is one of 14 lots related to the 'Wee Blue Devil' in the auction, and is expected to fetch more than £2,000. 'Other Alan Morton lots in the sale include another League Championship medal from 1924/25 which has an estimate of between £1,000 and £1,500, a Glasgow Cup 1931/32 winners medal valued at between £1,000 and £1,500, and two of the players Scotland jerseys from 1924 which could fetch up to £1,500 each,' reports the Rangers website.

Brian Clements, director of auctioneer McTear's, said: "The Wee Blue Devil was the first of Scotland's footballing superstars and is regarded by many as Rangers' greatest ever player. The various lots give a fascinating account of Alan Morton's impressive Rangers and Scotland career and I am sure the memorabilia will attract a huge amount of interest. To have one 'Wee Blue Devil' item in the sale would be fantastic but to have 14 lots is quite unprecedented."

The auction will take place at McTear's Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers, Meiklewood Gate, Glasgow on Saturday 5th December at 10.30am.
