Bobby Cunning (left) bidding farewell to Jackie Cox, Hamilton manager, before signing for Rangers. EVER since he could kick a ball, Bobby Cunning had wanted to play for Rangers. So Scot Symon made the young Hamilton Academicals striker a very happy man when he signed him for the ibrox club in September 1954. Bobby’s grandson Jamie got in touch to tell us: “Scot Symon became the manager of Rangers FC in 1954 and his first signing was my grandpa. It took place in the Central Hotel and the fee was £2500.” Bobby’s debut was in a Glasgow Cup replay against Clyde on September 10, just a few days after his momentous signing. Our sister newspaper noted that he and fellow newcomers (McKenzie and Menzies) “passed their test with honours.”
