Hugh Adam ((1925-09-20)20 September 1925[1] – (2012-12-29)29 December 2012[1]) was an investor in, and director of, Rangers F.C., working closely with Willie Waddell.
[Note 1] The 1971 Ibrox disaster was a crowd crush that led to 66 dead and over 200 severely injured.
Unfortunately, a similar disaster occurred many years later in the Hillsborough disaster, and in its aftermath the Taylor Report led to all-seater stadiums in the top tiers of UK soccer.
[3] Adam predicted that Rangers would suffer in the 1990s[citation needed], but he continued to invest in the club until his death.
Sir David Murray bought out the club in 1998 and after that Adam had no financial interest in it.
