Famous Scots - George Nelson
Stairway 13's reputation matched its ominous name even before the 1971 Ibrox Disaster. On September 16, 1961, after a 2-2 draw with Celtic, a surge on the steps killed two spectators, George Nelson and Thomas Thomson, whose names are commemorated today on the nearby memorial which also lists the victims of the disasters of 1902 and 1971.
