In a recent interview, Alan Hutton praised the Glasgow Rangers manager, Steven Gerrard, for his keeping of Gers' traditions.

Speaking recently to Sky Sports, Rangers' majority shareholder and former chairman, Dave King, claimed that Gerrard has always insisted on keeping the traditions that 10 times Scottish championship-winning manager Walter Smith instilled in his time at the club.

One of these traditions included the Gers boss wearing a suit and tie for the club's fixtures, and, in a recent interview with Football Insider, Hutton heaped a considerable amount of praise on Gerrard for upholding these particular customs of the club.

He said: "This is the thing. It's the little things that make the difference. They all build-up to the collective, what you're looking for.

"He's totally right. When you think back to the likes of Walter Smith, it was always that - the navy blazer, grey trousers and brown shoes. That's how Rangers were.

"It's good to hear that Steven Gerrard was buying into all of that. He wanted to be part of all the little things that make Rangers, Rangers. It's brilliant to hear."

Transfer Tavern Take

Whether or not Gerrard's maintaining of Smith's traditions directly had an effect on the players, it certainly does not appear to have done them any damage, with the Liverpool legend leading the club to their first Scottish top flight title for 10 years this season.

And, hopefully - for fans of the club, at least - it is not only Smith's dress sense that Gerrard brings back to Gers but also the unprecedented levels of success the 73-year-old did during his time spent in Glasgow - with the former Everton boss winning 10 league titles, six Scottish League Cups and five Scottish Cups at Rangers.
