Bill Struth

Bill Struth was the second manager of Rangers football club and without any doubt the most influential one. Bill Struth never played professionally. He was a stonemason by profession.

He made a name for himself as a middle-distance runner, and that landed him training jobs. He joined Ranger in 1914 as an assistant coach, and in 1920 he was elevated to the post of a full-time coach. He instilled greatness and tradition and made Rangers a special club.

He won 30 major trophies in his glorious career that includes 18 Scottish league championship. He was the first one to win the treble in Scottish history. He was so influential that in his memory Rangers renamed the famous Main Stand at Ibrox The Bill Struth Main Stand in 2005.
