What Walter Smith thought of Rangers tunnel barney with Chick Young after grandkids spotted YouTube clip

The lost Ibrox legend would go on to regret the infamous argument - because his grandkids saw it.

Late Rangers legend Walter Smith admitted to Chick Young he regretted his famous dressing down delivered to the BBC reporter - because his grandkids discovered the clip on YouTube.

The clip has been viewed over a million times on the video site in which Young questions some of Smith's signings in 1994, after a defeat to AEK Athens.

The gaffer was having none of it as Young was told in no uncertain terms that players such as Brian Laudrup and Basile Boli were more than ready for continental competition in an interview that never officially aired.

Iconic two-time Ibrox boss Smith passed away aged 73 in October and Walter: A Life In Fo otball is an upcoming production from the BBC celebrating his legacy.

In the documentary, Young says: “The climax is to this is about three years ago I was out having a drink with him and he said ‘I wish I’d never effin’ done that’.

“I said, ‘How? What’s the problem?’ He says, ‘Well, the grandkids have found it.’

“And his granddaughter said to him, ‘Grandpa – why are you swearing at that nice man?’ I went ‘Yes’ - revenge.”

In the infamous Ibrox tunnel clip, Smith said: “How can you say that? They’ve just came to the place, haven’t they.

“You’ve got to give everyone a chance to settle in. Are you saying Boli and Laudrup can’t play in Europe?

“Boli has a European Cup winners medal, for f*** sake, you can’t say he’s not a good enough to f****** play in Europe.

"That is what you are saying. You can’t say that Boli and Laudrup can’t f****** play in Europe."

Smith then beckoned assistant Archie Knox over, who said: "Tell him to stick his microphone up his f****** a***."
