At a ceremony in Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Sandwick Road Offices the Supporters Club was recognised for its longevity and continued service to the community.

During the ceremony, the Convener praised the Supporters club for its status as the world’s largest Rangers Supporters Club, its extensive charity work, and its role as a hub of the community.

Speaking at the ceremony Cllr Kenny Macleod said: 

“Starting an organisation is difficult and running an organisation is challenging, sustaining an organisation successfully for 50 years is an incredible achievement that demonstrates dedication and real leadership. I would like to commend the volunteers, members, and staff of the Rangers Club for this achievement and their continuous work to make the club a success and an integral part of the local community.”

John Macinnes, Manager of the Lewis and Harris Rangers Supporters Club stated: 

"We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar for organising a civic reception in honour of the Lewis & Harris Rangers Supporters Club on the occasion of our 50th anniversary. It was a great privilege to be recognised in this way for our contribution to our local community over the past five decades."

 Further adding,

“The club has always taken immense pride in being part of the Stornoway and Western Isles community, so this recognition means a great deal to all our members—past and present. We have always endeavoured to give back as much as possible to our town and islands, and we are sincerely grateful for the support shown by the Comhairle. I hope that the Lewis & Harris Rangers Supporters Club will continue to make a meaningful and lasting contribution to the Western Isles for many years to come."
