Rangers have paid a glowing tribute to Ibrox icon Ian McMillan after his death at the age of 92.
Nicknamed 'The Wee Prime Minister' McMillan he enjoyed a career to savour as a part-time player who was vital during his six seasons which included a run to the Cup Winners’ Cup Final. He was also adored in Airdrie where he played 12 years and managed the club on two occasions. McMillan was inducted into the club's hall of fame and is fondly remembered by a legion of supporters.
A club statement read: "In his six seasons at Ibrox, McMillan played over 200 times, scoring 55 goals. That contribution brought him two League titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups. He was also influential in the team that made the Cup Winners’ Cup Final in 1961. Inducted into Rangers Hall of Fame, McMillan, astonishingly given his career, was a part-time player, training twice a week for Rangers and working full-time as a quantity surveyor. He was also a member of the Scottish Football Hall of Fame, and was capped six times by his country.
"Leaving the club in 1964, he returned to finish his playing career at Airdrie before becoming their manager. The thoughts of everyone at Rangers Football Club is with Ian’s family at this sad time."
