John Lundstram in touching Walter Smith tribute as Rangers midfielder shares Everton throwback photo

Emotional John Lundstram has shared a touching image of him alongside Walter Smith during his Everton days.

The iconic Rangers figure is remembered across the game not just for his achievements north of the border, but during his time south of the border.

While Smith lifted the FA Cup during his time at Manchester United, Lundstram remembered the legendary manager from his days at Goodison Park.

The Ibrox midfielder came through the Toffees youth ranks when Smith was in charge of the English Premier League side.

The 27-year-old took to Instagram to share an image of himself as young player alongside the former boss.

The pair are all smiles, with Lundstram appearing to be holding an autograph book to catch a signature from Smith.

He added a blue heart to the post as he shares in the tears for the passing of one of Scottish football's greats.

Ahead of the clash with Aberdeen, Steven Gerrard and assistant Gary McAllister laid a wreath in tribute to the club's iconic manager following the announcement of his death aged 73.

Captain James Tavernier also stood side-by-side with Steven Davis and Allan McGregor - who played under Smith during his second spell as manager during the moving scene.
