One year on from Walter Smith 's tragic passing, Rangers have announced they will unveil a statue honouring the legendary manager.
Smith passed away aged 73 after a battle with cancer this time last year, prompting an outpouring of grief across Scottish football. He was one of our game's greatest ever coaches, having led Rangers to 10 SPL titles across his two spells, as well as managing Everton and Scotland and working under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
He would later serve the Ibrox side as chairman and gave the vast majority of his post-playing career to his boyhood club, where he won a total of 21 domestic honours as manager. And the club have revealed they will immortalise his career by commissioning a statue in his honour, to be erected at the Copland Road end of Ibrox. A statement reads: "On the first anniversary of his passing, Rangers Football Club are today pleased to announce a statue of legendary manager Walter Smith has been commissioned to commemorate his incredible achievements at the club.
