THE imposing figure of Bill Struth was to cast a long shadow over Rangers Football Club. During his 34 years as manager, his influence was such that it shaped the club's future for many generations to come.
JOCK Wallace was the first man to have been Rangers manager twice and, in the first of those stints, he had the unprecedented success of guiding his team to win two League, Scottish Cup and League Cup Trebles in the space of three seasons.
Graeme Souness, Rangers' first player-manager, had already built a formidable reputation as a world class midfielder with Liverpool, Sampdoria and Scotland by the time he arrived at Ibrox.
ALEX McLEISH became the sixth Rangers manager to deliver a Treble when he swept the boards in fantastic style in season 2002/03 - his first full season in charge.
PAUL Le Guen was unveiled as the 12th Rangers manager in the summer of 2006 replacing Alex McLeish at the helm but left on January 4, 2007 after just 31 matches in charge.
