Derek Johnstone has reassured Ibrox fans that good times are ahead- without a shadow of doubt.
The former Rangers (IL) striker has been providing reassurance to supporters for decades that all is well with the clubs and has been made an ambassador.
That role will curtail his output on Radio Clyde with Johnstone required at Ibrox on matchdays.
His new role will involve reassuring matchday fans that all is well rather than spinning things to Radio Clyde listeners that good times are around the corner.
Johnstone’s predictions of good times around the corner has become legendary on Radio Clyde with every new regime and manager backed to the hilt.
Looking ahead in the Evening Times he predicts: “I think good times are ahead, without a shadow of a doubt. And I am delighted to be back at the club as we look to move forward.
“It is a huge honour for me and I am thrilled to be brought on board and join legends like Richard Gough and Mark Hateley in an ambassadorial position.
“They are both icons of Rangers Football Club and I am pleased that the club felt I was the man to go in there and help them out.
“You take each day as it comes and any time I am wanted for anything with Rangers, I am available. It is as simple as that.
“Anything that the club want me to get involved in, I will do so. Apart from the football side of it, of course. I will leave that to the manager.
“It could be anything from showing people around Auchenhowie to picking players up at the airport and hopefully I will be a face that folk recognise. I will help where I can at the various golf days and charity events and I am really looking forward to it.
“I will be working at Ibrox on a Saturday so there will be no radio for me at the weekend. Matchday is all about Rangers Football Club but, I won’t be completely off the airwaves. I will still be on once a week and doing the Friday show, so you will still hear my dulcet tones on Radio Clyde.
“When I am on, you will get my usual firm, fair and impartial views on Scottish football. I have done that for thirty odd years, and that won’t change.
“The one set of people you can’t fool is the fans and my style in my weekly SportTimes column and on the radio won’t change.”
Johnstone’s fire fighting skills are likely to come in useful with Steven Gerrard expected to start work next week on the latest revolution.
So far Director of Football Mark Allen has been unable to deliver on any of the new manager’s signing targets with the agent of Martin Skrtel revealing that his client was offered an 80% pay cut to move to Ibrox.
