RANGERS have cancelled their pre-Aberdeen press conference in respect of the legendary Walter Smith.
The former Ibrox and Scotland manager sadly passed away this morning at the age of 73.
Smith led Rangers to 10 top-flight titles, five Scottish Cups and six League Cups as well as to the UEFA Cup final in 2008.
The Light Blues were set to hold a pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow's Scottish Premiership match against Aberdeen.
But the Ibrox club have now confirmed that this has been cancelled. They said: "In light of this morning's profoundly sad news, today's press conference has been cancelled."
The club held a minute’s silence in training on Monday morning in tribute to Smith.
They tweeted a photograph of club players and staff bowing their heads, with the caption: “A minute’s silence in memory of our former manager, chairman and club legend, Walter Smith.”
