The Significance of Souness - Miller Tom

In 1986, Rangers FC made a bold move that changed Scottish football forever. The appointment of Graeme Souness as player-manager marked the end of a nine-year title drought and the beginning of a new era atIbrox. Backed with serious investment and a clear mandate, Souness won the league in his first season and reignited the club's ambition. This book revisits that transformative period, when Celtic, Aberdeen and Dundee United were the dominant forces. With fresh insight from Rangers legends such as Terry Butcher, Ian Durrant and John Brown, and reflectionsfrom rivals including Souness's former international teammate Alan Rough, we explore the battles on the pitch and the drama behind the scenes. Former Rangers player and then-Hearts boss Alex MacDonald also shareshis memories of how his old club changed almost overnight. Forty years on, we uncover stories never told before, with Souness himself at the heart of it. Featuring a foreword by iconic captain Richard Gough, and a postscript from Rangers record goal scorer Ally McCoist, this is a compelling look at the revolution that reshaped Rangers. As Ian Ferguson put it, 'I could have gone to Man Utd., but when Souness trapped up at Ibrox, there was only one destination for me.'
