Walter was and always will be a giant at our club. Managers who win 10 championships and 11 cups don't come along too often. Steven said that his DNA was all over the club. I hope that never goes away because it's not just about his success as a manager. He was a great man as well as a great manager. My sympathy to his wife, sons and grandchildren at this time. With time I hope we name a stand in memory of him, because people like Walter Smith don't come along too often.

Rest in peace Walter Smith. A true gentleman. My mum met him a couple of times. Always had great things to say about him.💚💙
Heartbreaking is an understatement, even Steven Gerrard knows what a man he was, not just for his unbelievable legacy of our dear club, but of what a person who he was. It's hard to even sink in what a loss the man is, a giant in football and the influence he had one others. R.I.P Walter 💙

Walter Smith gave us success and pride in our club. As a man he showed every fan how to carry themselves in life. RIP Walter.
Magnificent man. Loved by the rangers. Respected by all the others. Rest well brother. 🇬🇧
Walter was a winner through and through. Gerrard is cut from the same cloth. Do your best lads and win this game for our Walter. Best wishes to everyone connected with the club at this difficult time. 💙
You could see how much this has hit Steven from the very start of this interview. Another sign of just how very special Walter was to the Rangers family. Even toward the end of his life, he was involved and offering help and support to our manager and the club. Irreplaceable.
Knowing we had Walter Smith as a Manager, supporter and defender of our club has always reassured and heartened me when the club was in difficult times. From first becoming a Rangers fan Walter epitomised Rangers for me. As Steven said his DNA is all over the football club and he will be forever imprinted in my heart and memories. Love you Walter. You will never be forgotten.
Most of us will be remembered by a close few for a few years after we die. Walter will be celebrated by many thousands 100 years from now. This man built that legacy and that is why he is a legend. RIP Walter Smith.
Thoughts are with your family. Thanks for the incredible memories. Rest easy Walter a true Ranger 🔴⚪🔵
Great words from Steven about the LEGEND who is Sir Walter.
Tears have been shed today, so sad. Walter brought so much joy into my life as a supporter. A great man, and a huge loss. Heartbreaking today. 💔
Gaffers hurting here as we all are , jst know this gaffer, winning 55 last season would have made walter a very very happy man 💙 rip legend 💙
Couldn't believe this when I first heard, total shock. R.I.P Walter Smith a true legend... 🔴⚪🔵
Stevie is pure heartbroken in his interview he wanted to cry.but held it in.hope the team go out t.moro and punish the sheeprustlers for our sir Walter Smith.
Was in my very early 20s when Walter took over the reigns from souness. So from this Rangers fan thank you Mr Walter Ferguson Smith O.B.E.for some of the happiest days of my life. R.I.P. The Gaffer.
The whole purpose of life is to live respected and die regretted. This is what Walter Smith achieved and Gerrard will follow in those footsteps.
Walter was my childhood. Walter was my hero. I'm sure we've all got stories to tell. I was 12 and was waiting outside training in Partick (where they trained years ago in the 90s). Gazza snapped a little boys string from his ball, so nobody was allowed in because of complaints. We were all gutted. Walter came out to us and signed autographs for us all. Hero everywhere he went.
Not just a great manager but a great man. Not many like Walter Smith.
I grew up watching Rangers through the 9iar years under this man and then Manchester in 08. So many great memories to look back on. Absolutely gutted hearing this news 😔 Rest easy Mr Smith ❤🤍💙
You Can tell the Gaffer was speaking with a broken heart as all of us Are . Pure Class From A True Legend To An Icon Of World Football RIP Walter Once A Ranger Always A Ranger Gone But Will Always Be In Our ♥️ s Forever🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 WATP 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
An emotional tribute from the Manager to Sir Walter Smith, holding back tears at times. Walter Smith was a true gentleman, a brilliant footballing mind, fantastic Manager and a genuine humble man. You'll be doing the Bouncey in the big Ibrox in the sky. R.I.P Walter Smith. 🔴⚪🔵
