MARK WARBURTON wouldn't have known his Davie Wilsons from his Davie Coopers before he took on the job of managing Rangers.
But he is getting there. Slowly but surely. It's a part of his new life he really enjoys.
On Sunday night he was at the national stadium for the Scottish Football Hall of Fame Dinner to help induct Bobby Brown, the club's former goalkeeper, and it's meetings such as this one which give him belief that he's doing the right thing.
Warburton said: "You get told about the history of the club every single day. I was at the Hall of Fame dinner. It was fantastic. It was great to give an award to Bobby Brown. He was incredible. I mean, sharp as a tack at 92 years-old. I hope I am like that at 52 never mind 92!
“It was great to hear the stories and a real privilege to be there meeting some really good people.
“Coming from down south you don’t know who the people are in the game but it’s nice to have nights like that to meet everyone like Davie Wilson and hear about Ally McLeod and so on.
“The club was mentioned on the stage time and time again. People talking about the last four or five years. You realise the significance of Rangers.
“People want it back. Everyone was saying they want the club back. It’s important to take that message to the players.
“Some people take it for granted, but you have people coming up to you and taking about the club, the work rate of the players and getting back to where we want to be.
“The players need to hear that. It’s a big responsibility, but you have to enjoy that responsibility."
