The Archer 1,094 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I still can’t believe your gone Walter ,you were everything that bleeds blue .When my Dad was running the youth football system in Dumbarton in the 80s onwards etc you always had time to hand over medals or send a player at the last minute. Everything that is Rangers is you ,a truly beautiful man RIP Sir from all the Millar’s Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

real boydie9 17,611 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Spoke to my son yesterday, first time since Walter passed away. My son worshiped him. Walter's second stint was when my son started attending the games. There wasn't much said between us yesterday. Like all the Rangers family we're still hurting 😔 it's going to take a long time to get over his loss. A Rangers legend, but first and foremost a great man.

He added: “After the game obviously you that tradition is that visiting manager goes to the host manger’s office for a cup of tea or a glass of wine, whatever. And we talk about the match, whatever, the next opponents and all that… and I’m s****** myself. “Walter Smith – I’m a novice, a young manager. I said to my assistant, right let’s go, you first… “We got to the manager’s door and I just opened it a little bit and peeked in. “And he noticed me just peeking in and he says: ‘Big man, come in come in.’ “He came to me, hugged me: ‘Big man, how can I apologise enough?’ “And I said: ‘How can I apologise enough, what I told you?’ “Then we just laughed it all off – brilliant.” Almacger, RangersMedia, scottyscott1963 and 10 others 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a recollection of this and if I'm not much mistaken, this was the sending off that led to Walter Smith having to watch the OF game from the directors box. This was the one where he memorably send a sheepish looking Durrant down to the dugout with instructions Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
