Kenny McDowall, Walter smith and Ally McCoistWALTER SMITH returned as Rangers manager on January 10, 2007 to begin his second spell as boss when he answered the call from Sir David Murray.

The lifelong supporter had no hestitation in giving up his post with the Scottish national side to come back to day to day involvement with Rangers.

He brought Ally McCoist - his lieutenant with the national side - with him and also Kenny McDowall, who had been reserve coach with rivals Celtic.

He said at the time: "I am delighted to be back. The club has always been close to my heart. I have obviously been here before and I didn't think I would get the chance for a second opportunity.

"I was successful in my first period as manager but that does not mean that I am going to repeat that. We are going to have to work extremely hard and of course the club has changed a lot since that period."
