# Rangers: Fans react to club’s Ibrox disaster tribute

**Many Glasgow Rangers fans have been left reacting to the club’s tribute to the anniversary of the Ibrox disaster.**

The tragedy happened on this day 51 years ago, and a [documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrrnmbwBYjo) was made last year in order to commemorate its 50th anniversary.

This year, the club posted a [video](https://twitter.com/RangersFC/status/1477429432600072193) on their official Twitter channel in honour of those who tragically lost their lives during the event, and they have also shared a [poem](https://twitter.com/RangersFC/status/1477565332470439937) from the granddaughter of John Buchanan, who was one of the victims in 1971.

A number of Rangers gathered around the video in order to show their appreciation for the tribute, as they remember what happened on that tragic day in the club’s history, when [66 supporters were killed](https://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/witness/january/2/newsid_3368000/3368963.stm) in a crush at the stadium.
