Fans gathered outside the historic stadium waving blue scarves and singing club anthems in honor of the man many supporters consider the greatest manager in Rangers history.
Although Walter Smith sadly passed away in 2021, Rangers officials announced that his vision, leadership, and football philosophy would once again play a central role in shaping the future of the club. The board revealed plans for a new football development initiative inspired by Smith’s values of discipline, pride, attacking football, and commitment to youth development.
