I HAD always said that all I ever wanted in return for what we did was for my father to get a seat in the directors’ box at Ibrox for one Rangers game.

On the Sunday after the EGM I got a phone call from the new director Paul Murray inviting me to be a guest at the game against Queen of the South with my dad. Somebody must have let him know that was important to me.

It was a fantastic night. There were a lot of friends and well-known faces. At one point Walter Smith came over to me in the Blue Room, grabbed my hand and said: “Craig, you’ve played some game son!” I was so honoured.

Glasgow Times:

Dave King also made a point of speaking to me. He said: “Craig, I’ve not had a chance to speak to you, but thanks very much for all of your help and everything you’ve done in the last couple years.”

I introduced him to my dad and he said: “You should be very proud of your son for all the work he’s done and the effort he’s put in. Not only has he fought for longer than most of us he’s actually led us during this.”

I was quite touched that a guy who has invested millions of pounds in the club should speak like that. A lot of people with Dave King’s sort of wealth let it go to their heads. But he isn’t like that at all.

I have always found him to be down to earth, grounded, humble and a straight-talker. You can see the Castlemilk in him when you meet him.

John Greig, who had only been back at Ibrox once, when the Govan Stand was named in honour of Sandy Jardine, since resigning from the board during the Craig Whyte era, returned that night.

He came over at one point and I asked him: “How does it feel being back? It must be very emotional?” He said: “Aye, son, but to be honest with you, there’s a lot of faces in here I don’t recognise.” I said: “Oh, I’m very sorry, I’m Craig Houston from the Sons of Struth.” He said: “I wasn’t talking about you. Everyone knows who you are.” It was absolutely mind blowing.

Most importantly, though, my dad had a great time. The highlight for him was getting his half-time pie in the Blue Room. He told me they were the best he had ever tasted.

When the second half kicked off he stuck his hand in his pocket, pulled one out and started eating it. I said: “Da! You’re no’ sitting in Section J anymore!”
