Dr Gulhane, who is also a club doctor for Queen’s Park FC, said in the motion that Rangers was one of the 11 original members of the Scottish league.
He lists the trophies won by the club, noting 55 league titles, 33 Scottish Cups and a record 27 League cups, seven trebles and its one European success, winning the Cup Winners Cup in 1972.

In the motion, Dr Gulhane said the club also supports: “A range of healthcare training and employability initiatives in Glasgow”.
He mentions: “Bringing sick, disabled and disadvantaged children to Ibrox to attend matches and tours” and efforts to promote vaccinations in Togo and India as well as fundraising for motor neurone charity MND.
Rangers supporting Conservative MSP, Murdo Fraser, tweeted his support for the motion.
