These cards date as 1945-46. Both Bobby Brown and Jerry Dawson are wearing Rangers kits, Dawson left Rangers in November 1945 and Brown took over at the start of the 1946-47 season. Also, Willie Findlay joined Rangers for the 1947-48 season. He is wearing the 1945-46 kit of his former team, Albion Rovers. He is not a Rangers player in this series of cards.

Hi Davy,
DeleteThanks for your help, I've amended the date to 1946-47 from 1947 and amended the information for Willie Findlay.
Cheers,
