Two “traditional” Glasgow hostelries, one “often referred to as a Rangers pub”, have been sold.
Both sales form part of a project to market four public houses across Glasgow and the surrounding areas on behalf of the current owners, who wish to retire, said selling agent Christie & Co.
The prices paid for The Black Bull, on the corner of High Street and Blackfriars Street in the city centre, and The Old Quarry Bar at Toryglen have not been disclosed.
The Old Quarry Bar at Cathcart Road in Rutherglen has been sold to a local operator who plans to redevelop the property, while The Black Bull has been sold to an existing multiple operator.

Christie & Co said: “Situated on the corner of High Street and Blackfriars Street in the city centre, The Black Bull sits at the heart of the community and is within close proximity of hotels, shops and restaurants, as well as transport links such as High Street Station a short walk away. Housed within a stone building, the bar currently operates as 100% wet sales.
“The Old Quarry Bar is a popular pub and lounge, often referred to as a ‘Rangers pub’. The pub is surrounded by residential streets and other local businesses, with the main town centre a two-minute walk away.”
Christie & Co announced in May it had been appointed to bring to market Best Cellars Ltd, a portfolio comprising Vogue and The Old Quarry Bar, The Black Bull on High Street in the city centre, and Brechins Bar in Govan. It said then that the pubs were available as a package or separately.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
