Walter Smith to Leave Champions League
By Mayuri, Gaea News NetworkTuesday, December 7, 2010
NEW YORK (GaeaTimes.com) — Walter Smith will end his involvement in football matters at Ibrox at the season’s end. Rangers simply did not play well enough in the 0-0 draw at Ibrox or the 2-1 away defeat, yet the tie did highlight the precariousness of Smith’s stature at Ibrox and the nature of Scottish clubs in European competition.
When Smith took over from Graeme Souness as Rangers boss in April 1991 his subsequent seven-year tenure was every bit the rollercoaster of recent years.
Smith will oversee his last Champions League match at the Ataturk Stadium. On Tuesday in the Ataturk Stadium in Bursa in northern Turkey he will take charge of Rangers for the last time in the Champions League.
