YES, says Gary Keown.

THIS is not just a matter for Rangers. This is a matter for the whole of society.

It is important to know where you fit into the fabric of your family’s story, your community’s story and, in many cases, the story of your workplace. It helps foster a sense of what is expected of you, perhaps even a sense of belonging.

The workplace can be a little different as many companies these days have very limited interest in preserving traditions of the past. That can hardly be said of Rangers, though, as those tiresome old arguments over oldco and newco and stripping titles rumble on interminably.

Cocooned inside Murray Park, the youth teams maybe don’t feel any kind of connection with the past. If that’s the case, there should be regular trips to the trophy room and that impressive main reception at Ibrox Stadium.

It would be an education for many of them, I am sure. Most importantly, it would give them an early indication of the levels of pressure and expectation that will land on their shoulders should they ever find themselves representing the dreams of a global family of supporters in the first-team.

Rangers, like Celtic, must succeed. Their history demands it.

It is a history that all players should have at least a loose understanding of. If Warburton does not have every youth team player capable of naming the starting 11 from the 1972 Cup-Winners’ Cup final by next Friday, heads must roll.

NO, says Neil Cameron

Don’t worry Rangers fans. Mark Warburton didn’t burst into song when this week he asked: “Do you know your history?”

He was asking this question to his younger charges, many of whom are new to Glasgow and wouldn’t know their David Weirs from their Davie Meiklejohns. They might not even realise their assistant manager once played for the club.

Warburton believes it is important that his player at least acquaint themselves with what has gone before, the great players who once walked the corridors and the days when Rangers took on the best European football could throw at them, rather than worrying about Livingston away.

Personally, I don’t think this is at all important right here and now. All the current players need concern themselves about is getting out of the lower tiers of Scottish football. The history lessons can wait.

With the best will in the world, naming the Barcelona team from 1972 is pretty low down the list of priorities in 2015. Winning matches is all that counts. Nothing else.
