Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakaroa ana a Walter Smith ki te matapae i te mutunga o te whawhai. E rua tau i muri i tana wehenga atu hei tumuaki o Rangers, kei te rongo tonu te tangi o te pupuhi i roto i ona taringa. Ko te whakapuakitanga o te rangimarie i roto i to tatou wa he mea wawe. Ko Dave King, te tumuaki-whakapōti, me whiwhi tonu i te whakaaetanga a te SFA e hiahiatia ana e ia mō tētahi tūru i roto i te rūma o te poari. Ko nga taipitopito o te huarahi e whakaaro ana te karapu ki te whakaiti i nga tahua kaore ano kia tae mai. A, ko te whakataetae whiringa toa o te whakataetae, he nui ake te whakawehi i te Somme. Heoi i mua i tana whai wāhi ki te rā pōro hākinakina ā-tau o te John Hartson Foundation, i kī te tohu Rangers i te tūmanako kua mutu te kino rawa. Ka taea e ngā Rangers te whakatū i te teneti hākinakina, ā, ka noho anō hei karapu whutupaoro. (I maui ki matau): Ka hono atu te kaiwaiata a Steve McCrorie ki a John Hartson rāua ko Walter Smith i tētahi whakataetae korowha atawhai. Ko te tiamana o mua o Rangers me te kaiwhakahaere a Smith e tumanako ana ka taea e te karapu te neke atu i ona whakaari i waho o te papa. 'E whakaaro ana ahau he mea pai mo te karapu kua noho ki raro inaianei, kua mutu te EGM, a ka uru atu te iwi ki te whakahaere i te karapu whutupaoro,' i kii a Smith. 'I roto i ngā wiki e toru kua hipa, kāore he upoko kōrero, ā, koinei te taahiraa tuatahi ki mua mō Rangers. Ko te karapu katoa e anga ana ki tētahi wā nui, nui i roto i tōna hītori. 'Me hoki rātou ki te āhua o Rangers Football Club. Kāore he karapu e wikitōria ana i ngā wā katoa, ā, kua whai wā ngā Rangers i ngā wā o mua, ahakoa he rerekē tēnei. 'Kia urutau te katoa ki taua mea. Ko ngā tāngata o waho, ko ngā kaiwhaiwhai, ko te katoa. 'I reira he kore o te whakawhirinaki i mua. He māmā noa iho. Inaianei kua kore. 'E whakapono ana rātou kei reira te iwi mō Rangers <unk> ā, he tīmatanga nui tērā i muri i te toru, e whā tau o te pōuri.' I whakapuakina a Smith ki a ia anō ki te pere whakawhiti i tana hokinga mai ki <unk> i runga anō i ōna whakaaro <unk> hei tumuaki. He whakataunga e pouri ana ia, ahakoa te hokinga mai o ngā kanohi mōhio ki te karapu pēnei i a King me Paul Murray, e 67 ōna tau ināianei, ā, kāore e hiahiatia ana e ia kia uru atu ia ki roto i te pouri, i te ahotea rānei o tēnei mea katoa.
