Growing up in the 90s supporting Rangers you kind of took everything for granted and never really realised as a young boy how good a manager he was. It wasn't until he came back for a 2nd spell I realised his true genius and how good he really was. Not only that how highly he's spoken off by others you know he was an even better man. As rangers fans we owe this man a great debt. Rest easy Walter ❤🤍💙 RIP Gaffer

Thank you so much Walter. I’m 42 now but the 9yr old me of 1991 who sat in the Copland road and had the utter privilege of seeing you stamp your genius on the scottish game wants to personally thank you. When Hateley bagged that header to win the league your journey to infamy began and your legacy will never end. That wee boy wants to thank you and although he’s long gone he wants to tell you this. You made that wee boys childhood very special and the man he is now will be sure to do his best to tell all the future teddy bears just how pivotal and special you really were.

PAKIstani Celtic FC fan here. I had the privilege to meet Walter Smith as a G4S steward working at the car park on near Paisley Road West - sorry I cannot remember the name - but he was an absolute gentleman. A new steward stopped him from entering the car park as he did not recognise him, so I went up to assist and recognised him and told the steward he was the ex-Rangers FC manager and is a legend in Scottish football. I apologised to Walter Smith and he said its okay because many of the stewards - like many employees - come and go and not many stewards are football fans as most are either students or folk who are working temporarily to get by and was absolutely understanding. That being said I told him that I am a Celtic FC fan and extended my hand to shake his hand and told him that I have no problem with the Rangers FC as I have enough problems in my life and he shook my hand saying just stay true to who you are and love your club and he admired my attitude towards him. You may have gone but you are still a legend to me and thanks for the chat. R.I.P Walter Smith.
