Unless he was drunk I doubt there was much chance of his arse touching the marble in any era. What do you think of him as a signing wabash?

I'd bet the clothes he was wearing would cost more than a week for 2 on the Med'. Looks more like something out of the cast of Entourage than a 'tink' IMO.

Seemingly the media got it wrong and it is Eddy the Eagle we are going for. He stated there are some excellent slopes in Scotland and can't wait to get a shot at Easter road.

Nah they have sort of died a death.

 

I just thought we were getting an Eagle to fly down the wing. Eddy didn't out-jump many people in his career though.

I saw him at Watford head down no vision, much like Fleck, hopefully Fleck will learn to get his head up, also saw him at Burnley, where he appeared to have not improved one iota, six games for Man U tells that story. Has a rep as a big time charlie, however he deserves a chance same as everyone, he cannot possibly be worse than our last signing from Burnley.

No player at Rangers, during the Struth era, ever doubted who the boss was, William Struth was a strict disciplinarian, and a man, who believed firmly in respect for authority.

To the dismay of many players, he demanded they wear a suit, collar, tie and bowler hats to training, instead of the common cloth cap. He believed that this gave the players the mentality, that they were important, and that they were part of something above simple entertainment.

His obsession with the dress code, also extended into the dressing room. The importance of freshly washed and Ironed jerseys, along spotless white shorts, and correctly dimensioned stocking tops, were held in high regard.

It is noticeable in 20's and 30's, that when ever Rangers took the field, all the players had their socks pulled up, and their jerseys tucked in to their shorts. This smart professional appearance and attitude was demanded from Struth, for when his Rangers team took to the field, they did so not only as ambassadors of Rangers, but also of Bill Struth himself.

Another part of the Struth legend has it, that the manager, would watch from the window of his house, at 193 Copland Road, as the players arrived on the underground for training. Anyone, who had dared to walk down the street, committing the serious crimes in his eyes, of having his hands in his pockets, or not wearing their bowler hat, would find that Mr Struth, had seen him, and had telephoned the ground, to insist that he walk down the street again, this time with his hands, by his sides, and their hat on their head.If the players, were willing to accept the strict code of discipline, laid down by Struth, there where many privileges for them. They had the best of everything, restaurants, hotels, theatre and cinema seats, and Struth always insisted, that his teams traveled first class. Through this treatment, Struth made his players feel they were inferior to no one, and Bill Struth in one of his immaculate 3 piece tailored suit's, was at the very forefront of them.

Any player however, who fell short of what Struth expected, felt the chill of being told, that his presence, was required up the marble staircase, in the manager's office.

 

The real Rangers way, second to none, and iron discipline.

Great then but time never stands still. I doubt we would have many players if they had to turn up in a suit and bowler. It may come back into fashion one day though. Who Knows?

Tradition is what makes the history of anything special, to those who hold those traditions and values at the very core of that which they hold so dear, it saddens me to see tradition and respect dying on a daily basis, but there again I was lucky enough to experience that sense of history and tradition through Mr Struth and Mr Symon.
