I'm a Celtic Supporter, but I grew up watching Rangers and Walter Smith's era of dominance of the old firm, I was very saddened to hear of his passing, a true Rangers Legend and a great man, I never ever once saw or heard him once look like a man that was a bigot, the only thing I seen was a true professional in the world of football who tried his upmost to break down barriers, the fact that he also took Ally McCoist and also the great Tommy burns as assistants when he became the Manager of the National team speaks volumes of this great man, he also attended the funeral of Tommy Burns, who he regarded as a friend, it is indeed a very sad day for Scottish football, my thoughts and prayers go out to Walter's Family on this very very sad day, R.I.P the Legend... Walter Smith ...
Incredibly put 👍
God bless sir Walter Smith, celtic fan from Luton. Rip Legend.
When Walter and Ally carried Tommy Burns' coffin, it spoke volumes !
Well done Celtic Football Club , Rivalries aside this is people’s lives who’s effected here, touch of of class from a Rangers man
Rip Walter, life is more than the divide of football, ✊💚🏴💙

It's time rangers and celtic stand together, we will always be our greatest rivalries but we need each other! Every ger has a celt pal and ever celt has a ger pal I'm proud of both clubs 💙💚
Some people transcend the ‘tribal acquiescence’ in football. Walter was a great coach, manager, father, friend and someone who just commanded respect from everyone in his company. This is a genuine loss to football. RIP
Respect to CFC for laying the wreath, thank you

Thanks to all the Rangers fans comments, United in sadness. 🏴

Celtic fan here, Respect for both sides. Rangers fans leaving scarves and John Greig laying a wreath for Caesar. It's only right we do the same for a Rangers legend. R.I.P Walter Smith.
Absolute gentleman. RIP
I'm so proud of my beautiful, brilliant fellow Scotsmen and women. This, THIS has shown us to be the respectful, amazing people we are. When it truly matters, we delivered on humanity. X

@@pureloyalist9277 Walter Smith was a legend, I grew up watching him on the tv against Celtic, always respected him and big Ally so much. I hope all of you can find comfort somehow and peace. Here’s to a good season of football ⚽️. All the best mate
RYAN , I WAS A NIPPY FKR UNTIL I SEEN THE RESPECT OF 98% OF CELTIC FANS COMMENTS, THATS SOMETHING THAT WILL STICK IN MY MIND FOR A LONG TIME FOOTBALLS FOOTBALL, RELIGIONS RELIGION, SHOULD BE LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME BUT DONT THINK WHAT WE THINK WILL BE ENOUGH AS CHANGE IT FOOTBALL WITHOUT HATE FOR THE OTHER SIDE , ANYWAY YOU TAKE CARE
@@Foreverceltic Ryan buddy wits aw the banner carry on mate don't understand it aw
Rip walter Smith I'm not a rangers fan but a long suffering dublin Newcastle fan in Ireland I always admired that rangers team he had with the great players he had too just never liked or agreed with shouting abuse at apposing fans because there protestant and British condolences to his family and friends
Even in death he's bringing people together rip 🙏
Great man rip peace legend
That’s how it should be no fighting 🔴⚪️🔵 God bless Walter
Well done Celtic. Heartbreaking stuff.
An absolute remarkable gentleman and Scottish and Rangers footballing legend that truly brought both true Rangers and Celtic fans together in so many inspiring and endearing ways with so many fondest memories in all of Scottish football! Scottish football will sadly will not quite be the same ever again without Walter! Deepest thoughts and condolences for all of Walter's entire family including Ally as he was quite simply the best! Rangers will Never walk alone!!

Sad to hear of Walter's passing a true gentleman a beacon shine on walter James harte sligo rovers Celtic fan rip walter
Respect to Celtic nice touch
That did show class.
Very sad great man
Well done celtic fc, it's just a pity the green brigade couldn't show the same respect last night. WATP
@T P
Don't think it was about point scoring, he was simply making a valid point.
Sadly they can't control themselves for 1 minute.
Classy club like no other 👎
Man isn't buried yet and you're at it. I've never seen or heard so many celtic men including myself showing solidarity to Walter. Dont worry by the time we meet again the hatred will be reinstated and the comfort zone of hate can resume. RIP Walter 🙏🏻
@T P Well said, right or wrong, this is not the time for squabbling, only remembrance for a humble guy who did so much for Scottish football.
You always get the one or two numpties who have no respect for themselves or others. A true disgrace, when it is not needed. It’s a sad time for Scottish football as a whole. It’s Not just one club losing a legend. It’s about an organisation, a family losing a gem. RIP Walter. Always in our hearts.
Why bring it up? Why give them attention 😂 just ignore it dude
Did I miss something mate, but what happened.
Absolute gentleman. AVFC
He nicked those flowers from my dad
55 Titles were still going strong RIP Sir Walter Smith 🇬🇧🏆💙
lol - that reeks of desperation and its not the place mate.
@@riboid Celtic acting like they care is desperate nothing more they hate rangers we hate them rest is history
@@stefanritchie7667 poor taste Stefan. Not the time or place man. These sort of times transcend football.
@@stefanritchie7667 must be torture being u. Get well soon
@b n Haha a new supposed team u couldnt handle all last season dont make me laugh yer teams pish stay aff deludamol 💙🇬🇧🤣
The Gaffer would have liked that 👍
Was a bit shocked when I heard that Walter had died because it came so out the blue, excuse the pun, but was this expected or what.
his illness was private only those who had to know were told lovely gentleman and familyman prayers ae with them all
Hey everyone look at me!!
It’s nice but to walk together sycronised for cameras to much , I understand it’s to stop bitterness with the divide but looked so staged for an emotional moment
It a load of pish staged and disrespectful
You must just be full of hatred, Walter Smith was respected across the divide, If they walked too fast, you'd have been saying silly comments also, Rest in Peace WS 🟩🟦
@@kennyholland4731 who cares about the divide do u think his family care about football when a family member loses his life no his life goes far beyond a childish rivalry
100% staged. Using a legends death to manipulate people with these videos is sick. If it was genuine they would feel no need to show the video of it
@@John_17x your 100 per cent correct it was son insincere
I heard all them Celtic fans lastnite pure disrespectful and the majority of them are Scotland fans shame on that club.
All them.?? I heard a couple, no more than that, you'll always get numpties
I'm disappointed with some of the comments , Walter Smith was to my knowledge a very respectful Man. ANYONE! WHO SHOWED DISRASPECT DURING THE MINUTES SILENCE SHOULD TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT THEMSELVES.
Your just another muppet who was listening for it and couldn’t wait to comment. What about the majority who respected it?? Nah! Let’s focus on the negative. Another Neanderthal.
Listen you get idiots at every club I'm no Celtic fan believe you me but you can't tarnish everyone with the same brush yes last night some of them showed no respect but how about commenting on the ones who did
yes but you cant condemn all the celts for the moron few of them that showed no respect
gay
yes indeed you are
