The emergency services, health workers, first aiders and ordinary people rose as one like Glasgow and Scotland always does in times of adversity.
It is long overdue this statue be erected in George Square to represent the health and emergency workers of Glasgow and beyond for all they do every day 24 hours a day.
The iconic image of the nurse running into Ibrox on 2/1/1971 would make for an ideal statue and also be a fitting memorial from Glasgow to so many of its sons who never came home on 2/1/71 as well as the other men & children from around the country and Margaret Ferguson from Falkirk.
We petition Glasgow City Council to build this statue before the 50th anniversary in 2021 on George Square

One hundred signatures reached our page today. It has been an exhausting road to get even this far but seeing people acknowledge this piece of our history keeps me going.

The climb toward our goal is exhausting and at times it feels like we are pushing a boulder uphill alone. We are nearly at the two hundred and fifty mark so please talk to those around you about why this memorial belongs in the square.

The climb has been exhausting and progress feels slow but we are nearly at one hundred signatures. Please put this link in front of someone new today so we have the weight we need to confront the council.

as a niece of one of the 66 I feel that a statue is well over due. there bravery made sure that there was not a higher loss of life
this would be a fitting tribute and would like to see it built for the 50th anniversary. always in my thoughts dad xxxx
I was at the game and I will always have a tear in my eye when speaking about it No One has ever really thanked all the Heroes of that day It's about time to say Thanks to them and remember all the deceased
It's about time glasgow had a memorial in a proneant place to all the Emergency workers who have served the city not just in the past, but especially the recent tradgadys that have hit our great city!
Strongly support this request for a statue in memory of those whol lost their lives and in recognition of the good work undertaken by the emergency services.
The nurse is a cousin of my late Dad
Most iconic photo of a nurse.

This would be a very fitting tribute for our 66 Angels and all the Emergency teams who fought that day to save not only my Aunt Margaret but all our ANGELS "SHOULDER TO SHOULDER THEY STOOD"
