SCOTTISH FOOTBALL LEAGUE CUP GOLD MEDAL 1960-61,

Provenance note: Douglas Gray, the vendor, was a page boy at Baxter's Wedding in Coatbridge, 1965. Baxter gifted this medal to Gray's mother sometime during that period, and he recalls her wearing it on a charm bracelet for many years. This was the very first of ten medals won by Baxter during his five years with Rangers, doing so when they beat Kilmarnock 2-0 in the final. Baxter is still regarded as one of the greatest Rangers and Scotland players of all-time.
