  Rangers F.C. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Willie Waddell was appointed as Rangers manager in 1969 and he guided Rangers to their first, and only to date, European triumph when they won the Cup Winners Cup by beating Dynamo Moscow 3-2 at the Camp Nou in Barcelona.
Within weeks of their European success, Willie Waddell moved to the general manager position and his coach Jock Wallace was appointed as manager.
Wallace, with the help of the nucleus of Willie Waddell's Cup Winners' Cup winning side, by the late 1970s had constructed a team that seemed set to dominate Scotish football for years to come.

 GersOnline - Disaster
The occupant of the office by then was Willie Waddell, who had returned to the club in December 1969 after a spell in journalism, when he worked with the Scottish Daily Express.
Waddell's brief had been to bring success back to the club - and that was something he eventually achieved - but his finest hour came in the days after the tragedy, when he held the Glasgow club together buy an extraordinary force of will.
Waddell did not emerge unscathed from the disaster, no one close to what happened that day did, but when grief subsided and the tears grew less, he was seen as a man of rare and real stature.

The official was soon joined by Willie Waddell and John Greig of Rangers and Celtic's Billy McNeill and John Clark, four men who would attempt to have their say on whether or not the field was playable.
Waddell and Greig seemed keen to have the match called off, hardly surprising since the blizzard which swirled in on Glasgow that week had forced Rangers to hold back a Champions Cup tie with Cologne until only the previous evening.
Waddell, evidently suspecting some kind of subterfuge, failed to see the funny side of the situation.
