	Bill Struth at AllExperts
		Bill Struth (1873-1956) was the second manager of Rangers Football Club, controlling the team for 34 years between 1920 and 1954, as well as the holder of a number of other positions at the club.
		Struth's longevity as manager is shown by the fact that he won the club's first league and cup double in 1928 and was still the manager when the team won its first treble in 1949.
		Bill Struth later died, aged 81 and he is buried in Craigton Cemetery.

		Struth replaced Jimmy Wilson after the trainer's death in 1914 and for the next six years helped manager William Wilton mould a side that would come out of the shadows of a Celtic team who were by far the strongest during the Great War period.
		Struth promptly sent the bill back to the authorities with a curt reminder that Rangers players were used to a certain standard of living and if the SFA and the Scottish League could not meet those standards then they should not pick Rangers players to represent them.
		Struth decided to split the gate money from these meetings 50/50 with Gemmell and between that extra money and the wage already earned with Clyde meant he was able to give up his factory job and devote himself full time to his first love, Clyde.

		THE Bill Struth Main Stand was duly hanselled by Rangers’ biggest win of the season, but despite the handsome scoreline this was a lethargic performance by Paul Le Guen’s side.
		Although the afternoon belonged to the memory of Mr Struth, it will also be remembered for the return of captain Barry Ferguson to first team duty.
		Not, mind you, that the home defence was greatly troubled; Struth was famous for his Iron Curtain defence but yesterday Le Guen could have fielded a metaphorical headscarf so insipid were Falkirk’s efforts.

		Struth's dreams of a sixth consecutive title had been dashed and they were to finish five points off the pace of that smashing Motherwell side.
