Image for Rangers: These fans praise Alan Hutton after his retirement announcement

Yesterday Alan Hutton announced that he was retiring from competitive football via talkSPORT. The 35-year-old began his career for Rangers after progressing through the club’s youth ranks.

Hutton left Rangers for Tottenham Hotspur back in 2008 for £11.7 million, which remains the second-highest fee the Gers have ever received for a player. The most expensive player they ever sold was Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who left Rangers for Arsenal in 2001 for £12.15 million.

When Rangers’ official Twitter account congratulated Hutton, fans of the club shared their warm wishes. They admit that he was a brilliant right-back for the side, with one fan claiming that he still hasn’t truly been replaced.

Would you like to have seen Alan Hutton return to Rangers?

Yes

Yes

No

No

A couple of supporters say that they would have liked to have seen Hutton return to Ibrox one last time before he ended his career.

What do we think?

Hutton made a total of 91 appearances for Rangers and 50 appearances for Scotland. He could go down as a cult hero to the Gers faithful, even if he never returned to the side after his departure.
