Boab Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Was the right hand man to McLean at Dundee Utd and Souness at Rangers, a vital part of both their successes.

jamboinglasgow Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Feels that even though he was 73 he died too young. Will be seen as one of the greatest Scottish managers of all time, would say Rangers run to the final of the Uefa cup was an incredible feat, it wasn't pretty but very effective and was a big case of punching way above your weight.

Салатные палочки Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 I always remember how complimentary he was to us after the Scottish Cup final in 98.

John Findlay Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Three things standout for me with Walter Smith. 1. Playing for Dumbarton against us in the 1976 Scottish Cup semi final. 2. Being very magnanimous in defeat after the final in 1998. 3. Along with Ally McCoist being a pallbearer at Tommy Burns funeral. RIP Walter Smith. Condolences to all his family and friends.
