EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image captured at Murray Park Training Ground in Glasgow on May 1, 2009, Rangers Manager Walter Smith takes a moment to honor the brave men and women of the armed forces. Surrounded by members of various military units, Smith shows his appreciation and respect for their service and sacrifices. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of the beautiful Murray Park facilities, with the lush green grass and modern training equipment serving as a stark contrast to the uniforms and equipment of the military personnel. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and mutual respect, with both parties coming together to pay tribute to the important role the armed forces play in protecting the country. This special meeting between Smith and the armed forces personnel took place during the 2008-09 season, a time when Rangers Football Club was making history on the pitch. In the previous season, they had secured the Scottish Premier League title, while in the current campaign, they were vying for success in various domestic and European competitions. However, for this day at least, the focus was on something much bigger than football. Walter Smith, a respected figure in Scottish football, was known for his strong connections to the military. His father had served in the Royal Navy during World War II, and Smith himself had served as a part-time soldier in the Territorial Army. This deep-rooted connection to the armed forces made this encounter all the more meaningful for both parties. The image of Smith meeting with the armed forces personnel serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and appreciating the sacrifices made by those who serve their country. It also highlights the strong bond between Rangers Football Club and the military community, a bond that continues to this day.
