Derek Johnstone: Three men with vision to take Gers to the top

You know the club is in good hands when Walter is there and what I'd say about Craig is that he has learned very quickly just what the club is about.

It is all very well being a successful chief executive of a business unrelated to football and then finding yourself in a very public spotlight when you are charged with the running of a club the size of Rangers.

But so far I think he has made all the right noises and done the right things.

To know that all three guys sat down this week and spoke of their long-term vision of the club, how they want to achieve that and where they want to take the club is good.

These three guys are basically the most important people and the club and you need them to have a good working relationship, to speak regularly and to be on the same sheet – these are things that have not necessarily been the case over the past few years.

The ultimate aim is that the club is in the top flight and competing in Europe again.

It is a dream that will come to fruition and if these three are the ones who make it possible then they will be held in the highest regard by everyone associated with the club.

But the main aim is that business affairs are conducted sensibly and within budget.

There is just no point in hanging themselves in order to get into the top flight – when Rangers are there we want it to be from a position of strength both on and off the park.
