AS the clock ticks down with dignity towards Walter Smith’s final hours as Rangers boss it is surely now time for Her Majesty the Queen to consider a knighthood for the greatest ever Scottish manager.
As someone who takes immense pleasure seeing Walter kneel before me I’m sure The Queen will feel those same emotions as she bestows this greatest of honours which is frankly overdue in my eyes.
Sir Walter Smith? Has a nice ring. And the name sounds good too.
Once the Rangers boss has visited the palace it will be Sir Walter rally as he gets the players together for the final push towards SPL glory.
My old gaffer has gone on record as saying this current side is similar to the nine in a row one and he’ll get no argument from me.
Players like Lee McCulloch, Kirk Broadfoot and Kyle Lafferty are scarily similar to my old colleagues Scottish Nisbet, Alexander Cleland and Gary Bollan from those crazy days.
And despite accusations of boring defensive tactics, Walter now has this side playing in an extremely offensive manner which again reminds me of Rangers sides of the past.
So Buckingham Palace, draw up the honours list. Get the most dignified sword you can find. Prepare for Walter and make sure Sarah Ferguson is available to keep Alistair busy for an hour or so. Just remember my invitation.
As told to James' Trainers
