JOHNNY HUBBARD, Billy Ritchie and Stuart McCall have become the latest players to be inducted into the Rangers Hall of Fame this evening.

HALL_OF_FAME_DINNER_160The trio were unveiled at Glasgow's Hilton Hotel and their names will be added to the board which hangs over the Marble Staircase in the Bill Struth Main Stand at Ibrox.

South African Hubbard, a tricky winger, signed for the Light Blues in 1949 and went on to spend a decade with the club, scoring 106 goals in 238 games.

An immensely popular figure among Gers followers, he was particularly prolific from the penalty spot and scored 54 times out of 57 attempts from 12 yards.

Hubbard won three league championships in his time at Ibrox as well the 1953 Scottish Cup against Aberdeen.

Goalkeeper Ritchie played a key role for one of the greatest ever Rangers teams, that of the early 1960s.

Known as the quiet man of the side, he did his talking on the park as he kept a hugely impressive 120 clean sheets in 340 games for the club.

Ritchie's contribution helped Gers to two league titles while he was in Govan, along with four Scottish Cups and three League Cups.HALL_OF_FAME_160

Tenacious tackler McCall was an integral part of the Rangers team which won nine titles in a row between 1989 and 1997 after joining the club from Everton.

Costing £1.2million, the midfielder won five league medals and played a part in that historic ninth championship win before missing the rest of the season through injury.

He also claimed two League Cups and three Scottish Cups and won 29 of his 40 Scotland caps as an Ibrox player. McCall is now the manager of Bradford City.

The three players who were inducted last year were also recognised tonight at the first Hall of Fame dinner since they joined the elite band.

Willie Mathieson, Alfie Conn and Dave Smith, three final players from the Cup Winners' Cup-winning team of 1972, received their trophies at the ceremony.
