Popular Post The Dude 20,026 Posted October 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2021 1 minute ago, Essandoh said: Even with Waddell and Wallace being the men behind Barcelona 72, Smith stands above, shoulder to shoulder with Struth, in our Club’s history. Statues have lost their value outside some football stadiums across the world but I think I speak for everyone in saying that Walter Smith absolutely deserves one the opposite side of the main stand from Greig. Fucksake man. Without doubt. Walter is as much Mr Rangers to 'my' generation as Greig is to older bears. I'm generally against statues at grounds but he is absolutely one there's a very good case for. Opposite end to JG and the disaster memorial would be ideal and woulld be fitting to have Walter and Greig flanking the Bill Struth main stand. watty., Negri's lovechild, Goianegra and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AljayBoy 2,298 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Terribly sad, thoughts are with his family, RIP a Rangers Legend. For many of us he'll be the first manager we knew at Rangers. For me i'm just happy to he got to see his team back where they belong one last time. Â WeeJacksonRFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JamieD 18,940 Posted October 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2021 Can't believe it. Beyond gutted. It feels almost cheap to say he gave me some of the best days of my life, because for his family and friends he was so much more important than that. Thoughts go out to them and to every bear.
