Walter Smith managed 3 teams in his career, Rangers, Everton & Scotland all who play in the wonderful colour Blue.
His Record Reads:
Rangers...Pld 626, W 404, D 121, L 101 = 64.53 % Win Rate
Everton...Pld 168, W 053, D 050, L 065 = 31.55 % Win Rate
Scotland..Pld 016, W 007, D 005, L 004 = 43.75 % Win Rate
Total.....Pld 810, W 464, D 176, L 170 = 57.28 % Win Rate
Smith was linked with a return to management as Scotland manager in February 2018, but he withdrew his name from consideration after discussions with the Scottish FA.
Smith underwent an unspecified medical operation in March 2021, that required him to stay in hospital.
Walter Smith's death was announced on 26 October 2021.
R.I.P

Am glad he lived long enough to see the title back where it belongs. |

Just seen your link, Dr F. I`ll watch it tonight; maybe get a few bottles of McEwans Champion Ale to accompany it. |

Cracking documentary. Some of the footage made me feel old though.
31 years since they beat Aberdeen 2-0 in the final game of the season, to win the title. That`s hard to believe.
Rovers were at home to WBA that afternoon, ( we sent them down ). I remember watching the game with a radio to my ear, keeping up with the score from Ibrox.
Happy days.
