I shouldn't think we will ever agree on the vast majority of things, especially the above statement, but you do make me laugh with your unigue way of posting!
I'd say B, primarily. He hid in a hospital - his players hid in the shipyards. He was good at going out in a two man boat and coming back alone as well <ragefisher>
Take a guess. League Championships: Struth 14, Malley 4. Scottish Cups: Struth 6, Malley 6. Glasgow Cups: Struth 11, Malley 6 Glasgow Charity Cups: Struth 11, Malley 6 Head-to-head record: Struth; 20, Malley; 6 Winning percentage: Struth 54.39%, Malley 24.56% - The traditional Ne’erday derby clash with Celtic was always one of the major fixtures in the calendar. Struth lost his first one as Manager in 1921, 0-2 at Ibrox – he would never again lose another one at home throughout his Ibrox reign, excluding the war years.

“Rangers’ outstanding success during World War Two has led to many misinformed and outrageous accusations that Bill Struth deliberately placed his players in reserved occupations in order that they might avoid active service accusations which have no basis in fact whatsoever and which in any case are an insult to the vital contribution made towards the war effort by such work. People envious of the Ibrox club’s success during this and all other eras have promoted such falsehoods. A study of the Rangers players on active service during World War Two is enough to dissolve such a myth: BRITISH ARMY Willie Thornton (Trooper Scottish Horse Regiment) Donald McLatchie (Gunner Royal Artillery) Thomas Souter (Captain Royal Scots Fusiliers) Sammy Cox (Gordon Highlanders) David Gray (served in Middle East) Archie Macauley (Army Physical Training Corps) Willie Paton David Marshall David Kinnear ‘Torry’ Gillick Dr. Adam Little Eddie Rutherford Jimmy Galloway Alex McKillop Tom McKillop Joe Johnston Willie Knox R. Cowan P. Grant A. Beattie GDF Mackay (NB - for some reason (perhaps security?) newspaper reports in the Second World War normally didn’t report the name of the regiment players were serving in when they noted their departure to the front) ROYAL AIR FORCE Chris McNee Flight Lieutenant Ian McPherson Eddie Rutherford Jimmy Simpson Alex Stevenson ROYAL NAVY Jimmy Parlane Billy Williamson Bobby Brown Petty Officer Fleet Air Arm “As with the ‘Great War’ the above list should not be regarded as exhaustive, and again it is to be regretted that full service details are not available on every occasion.” DECORATIONS “Ian McPherson was awarded the ‘Distinguished Flying Cross’, Willie Thornton the ‘Military Medal’ for valour in the field in Sicily on 18 November 1943. McPherson incidentally flew on the first RAF bombing raid on Germany.” RESISTANCE “Former Rangers player Carl Hansen was arrested and imprisoned in his native Copenhagen in 1943. A member of the Danish Resistance during the German Occupation…Hansen was later sentenced to four months’ imprisonment.” OLYMPIC HERO AND RANGER “Olympic athlete Eric Liddell a lifelong Rangers supporter and member was detained in China whilst working as a missionary, and died as a result of inhuman treatment in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in 1945.” “Rangers’ on-field support for the war effort was considerable: 20.04.41 v RAF (Ibrox) 3-2 (Clydeside Air Raid Disaster Fund) 27.08.41 v British Army (Ayr) 2-2 (War Fund) 01.09.41 v Preston North End (Ibrox) 3-1 (Lord Provost’s Central Relief Fund) 25.09.45 v Newcastle (Ibrox) 3-2 (King George V1 Navy Fund) “On 17 October 1945 Rangers flew to Hanover, Germany for a game against the Combined Services in order to entertain the British Army in occupation of the Rhine.”
