Jim Baxter’s Bar 1970s.
Slim Jim Baxter Rangers football team fame took over the licence in 1970. The pub was situated at the corner of Paisley Road and Admiral Street.
In the News in 1970…
Jim Baxter granted a pub licence in October 1970.
A former Scottish international footballer, Jim Baxter was granted a public house licence at the Licensing Court in Glasgow. The not so slim Jim who was 31, will be mine host at the Rogano Public House, at the corner of Paisley Road and Admiral Street, at Paisley Road Toll.
The court was divided after hearing objections to the application from Glasgow chief constable, Sir James Robertson. But the licence was granted by eight voted to five. Sir James said that Baxter was convicted of a road offence in August last year, when he was fined £25 and disqualified from holding a driving licence for 12 months.
Mr Jim Baxter outside his pub.
An agent for Baxter said that Mr. Baxter was a personality not unknown in football circles and was a member of a famous Glasgow Club for a time. At the time of this offence Baxter had been engaged in an exhibition match in Dunfermline.
“Persons of his standing suffer from adulation, and hospitality which they do not want is often forced upon them” the agent said. “It was very much a border-line case and he has learned a short sharp severe lesson which he will not forget.”
Ballroom Licences
During his career Baxter left Ibrox Park for Sunderland, and later was transferred to Notts Forest for £100,000. Eventually he was given a free transfer and was signed for Rangers by the then manager David White. He failed to make his mark in the team. however, and was given a further free transfer from the Ibrox Club.
Jim Baxter said afterwards- “I am delighted. I will be working full-time in the public house. We hope to have alterations made to it by Christmas.” He added that the pub would be renamed “Jim Baxter’s.”
At the same court the Plaza Ballroom at Eglinton Toll, were given permission to sell drink on the premises. Until to-day they had a restricted licence allowing them to serve drink only with food. A similar release from a restricted licence was also granted to the Albert Ballroom in Bath Street and to Johanas which is also part of the Albert. The only provision at both the Albert and the Plaza was that there would be an age restriction of 18.
The pub was later known as the Sportsman’s Bar.

Update September 2016:
We gave The Union Bar a visit on the 3rd September 2016. The pub was very clean and looked like it was just opened the day we went in. The old wood carvings around the doors are still intact. The owners of the Angel across the road took over the old Merchants Quay and cleaned the interior a few months ago.

Another view of the interior main bar. The main bar is quite small for the size of the pub. That means there is more foot space for customer when Rangers FC are playing at Ibrox. 2016.

In the News 1971…
An assistant manager and his three “Bouncers” ejected a 14 strong stag party after a fight in a city bar, the High Court in Glasgow was told today.
Then they decided to “have a go” and went outside and held three of the four men alleged to have taken part in the uproar. “I realised the police would be there in a minute, so I thought it would be quite a sensible idea to apprehend a few before the police arrived,” said assistant manager, Mr Alan Buchanan (31).

On trial are four youths, Alexander Lynn, Edward Corrigan, John Lynn and James Wilson. They deny assaulting five men and committing a breach of the peace in the Bier Keller, 122 Union Street, on Saturday 24 1971.
An Argument.
Alexander Lynn, Edward Corrigan and John Lynn lodged a special defence of impeachment. Today Mr Buchanan, 5 Hillview Crescent, Calderbraes, Uddingston, said that 14 people arrived at the Bier Keller about 7 o’clock that night.
Three of them Alexander Lynn, Corrigan and Wilson got into an argument with an American Sailor, Charles Parker, who was a regular customer. Mr Buchanan said that he had warned the group that they would have to behave and that if they didn’t all 14 would be put out.
He told three of his bouncers to usher them out, and as the group went one of them said – “There’s the bastard, We’ll get him out now.”
John Lynn hit one of the bouncers, a Mr Braman, on the face with “something shiny.” Mr Buchanan ran behind the bar and put through an emergency call to the police. When he came back, two of his men were holding the door closed and the four accused and two others were trying to get back inside.
“Bouncer” hit
Mr Buchanan and the three men went outside and managed to catch Alexander Lynn, Corrigan and Wilson. During the struggle, he said that another bouncer, Mr McAtasnie, was struck on the head with a lemonade bottle and John Lynn and another youth were “In the process of kicking in a large plate-glass window.”
Cross-examined by Mr David Abbey, for Alexander Lynn, Mr Buchanan said he spoke to Lynn when the party first arrived and it was explained that it was Lynn’s stag party to celebrate his forth-coming marriage.
