Description

Eye of the Tiger is the story of one of the most legendary figures in Glasgow Rangers' rich history, a man who epitomised what it meant to be a Ranger.

Jock Shaw was a no-nonsense full-back whose fierce, uncompromising tackling earned him the nickname 'Tiger' from club supporters.

He joined the Gers from Airdrie in 1938 for GBP2,000 and was a key figure in the Ibrox defence in the immediate post-war years.

That defence was dubbed the 'Iron Curtain' because it seemed as unyielding as the barrier that divided Europe at the time.

The book charts Jock's extraordinary journey from the coal pit at Bedlay (Annathill) to becoming Rangers' first treble-winning captain.

His signing for Rangers started a remarkable association with the club, which lasted over 40 years and saw him serve as team captain, third-team coach and groundsman.

He also captained Scotland and shared the distinction of beating England with his brother David.

Ian Stewart worked with Tiger Shaw's family to bring you the inside track on his life and career.
