The boy who went to Ibrox with his grandad was born and died a Rangers fan. It was probably his dream to play for us. He didn't get that dream, but he gave us our dreams. For that I will ever be thankful. Rest easy big man.

I was very sorry to hear that Walter smith had died he was a great manager most memorable times as rangers manager was 9 in a row and taking rangers to uefa Cup final in 2008 was amazing achievement. Also he turned scotland around in his short time there beating France, etc he put fighting spirit back into national team bless him and his family sad time much respect to him
