While the bar's official inspiration hasn't been confirmed, it is believed that Walter's Bar is named in tribute to legendary former Rangers manager, the late Walter Smith.
Smith took charge of Rangers in 1991, succeeding Graeme Souness, and led the club to unprecedented success, winning 13 major trophies in seven years, including seven consecutive league titles.
After a spell managing the Scotland national team, where he notably lifted them 70 places in the FIFA World Rankings, Smith returned to Rangers in 2007 and added eight more trophies to his collection.
He guided the team to the 2008 UEFA Cup Final before retiring in 2011.
Walter Smith remains the second-most successful manager in Rangers' history, behind only Bill Struth, and is deeply revered by fans across generations.
Walter's Bar is expected to become a gathering place that honours his legacy while offering a new home for passionate Rangers supporters in the heart of Rutherglen.
