Rangers' legend recounts the struggles of his early days, and discovers the story of a black pioneer of the 1860s, who died in 1921. Graeme Souness and Archie MacPherson also recall Walters' crowd issues. Those booing players for "taking the knee" these days suggest little has really improved over the years. Souness expressed surprise when Walters recounted that his Mum (Mark's) had told him he'd have to try twice as hard to get on because of his colour, though I can't credit he'd never heard that sentiment before.

Alex Salmond followed up on this, via previewing tomorrow's big match with England, talking briefly to John Barnes, and at length to Mark Walters, about Andrew Watson.
