Footnote: This horn was presumably obtained by a British soldier serving with the 45th Regiment in the Seventh Xhosa War, a drawn-out battle of attrition worsened by a drought affecting the Cape region and the use of scorched-earth tactics by both the British and Xhosa forces; eventually the Xhosa were subdued after 21 months of fighting and Sir Harry Smith assumed Governorship of Cape Town in December 1847, officially annexing the region as the British Kaffraria Colony.

JOHNSTONE RANGERS', 39mm high including bale, maker JWB, in nine carat gold, approximately 6g, mounted, framed and under glass

Note: This important medal was awarded to Rangers legend Derek Johnstone after they picked up their first major trophy in over four years by defeating arch-rivals Celtic 1-0 in the final. The game was contested at Hampden in front of 106,000 fans, with Rangers securing the trophy by one goal to nil. That goal was scored by none other than Derek Johnstone himself, who at the tender age of 16, remains the youngest player to score in a Scottish League Cup final.
