Scot Symon is an oft-overlooked legend of Glasgow Rangers FC. He was a lifelong fan of Glasgow Rangers and played for them just 37 times, becoming a reserve player for much of his time at the club and winning one Scotland cap. He began his management career as boss of East Fife, leading them to the Scottish cup final and winning the Scottish league cup. This was one of their best ever seasons and quite an achievement for such a small club. Bigger clubs took note and he was approached to become manager of Preston. He got the job, managing to reach an FA cup final before becoming manager of Glasgow Rangers. In 9 season at Rangers, he won the Scottish league 6 times and heroically reached two European cup winners' cup finals, bringing Rangers close to their first ever European trophies. Unfortunately, both matches were lost but his excellent domestic record and good European runs guarantee him a spot in the top 20. He is fondly remembered for his cheerful disposition and his love of Rangers, which endeared him to the supporters just as much as his record of title wins.
