Putting the portrait in the museum would be a decent compromise
This all day long. The mural should be redone with careful thought to who should be on it, but Murray should have not a single thing to reference against.The Mint is still front and centre on the chairmans panel in the blue room.
When Senga Murray was painting it she was told to make him the most prominent, Egotistical bastard
I'd have that bastard removed from every part of our fabric starting with his smiling Fizog in the blue room.
It is a tradition, in the same vein that Rangers managers have their portraits painted on the wall of the Blue Room, that former Chairman have their portrait / image hung on the corridor wall. When Whyte disgraced his office and subsequently left the club, his portrait was removed from the corridor wall. If you ever find yourself in that part of Ibrox, you will note his omission.

So, just pit the photae back up then?We shouldn't airbrush our history - lest we forget and all that. Perhaps a cruel caricature with big buck teeth would be a reasonable compromise?
How about a picture of a pound coin?
ThisI'm in two minds. On the one hand, they (Somers as well) have no place at Ibrox.
On the other, they are a huge part of our history and we have a history like no other. Perhaps they should stay as a reminder of how dark it got as motivation for it never to happen again.
Perhaps a compromise would be for an empty frame to go in that place. No glory but not forgotten either.
theNah.
I get what you are saying but Whyte was a crook and should be whitewashed from our history.
I have no problem with good men with best intentions being portrayed within our walls and our history, even if their stay was short and without success, Paul Le Guen for example who is in the managers mural in the Blue Room.
Caixinha should be in there as well
Whyte can fuk off.
Turn their pictures to the wall.I'm in two minds. On the one hand, they (Somers as well) have no place at Ibrox.

The way it should be.He doesn't feature anywhere.
Whit?Quite right as well. Last Time I was up the marble staircase (a few years ago now) there was a framed signed Neil Lennon top in the corridor, get that pish tae feck!!!!
Whit?
No there was not and there never has been.
It was in the study support centre (classroom) in Broomloan house that primary schools visited. It was a symbolic message of inclusion and anti sectarianism.I’m pretty sure there was at one point. Maybe not as prominent as the original post suggests but certainly inside the stadium somewhere.

Celtic had a Barry Ferguson one up in their equivalent.
To suggest there was a framed Celtic top in the corridor at the top of the marble staircase though? How can somebody possibly get that so wrong, especially after typing it and presumably reading it back to themselves!

Difficult one this, he fucked us up in the end but also made 9IR possible , made it possible for me to see the likes of Gaza & laudrup grace Scottish football in our colours. It all went sour and he will be remembered as bad guy but for reasons above personally I'd keep him up thereDavid Murray’s should go the same way

Good Good. Ive removed all memory of the dirty rat being at our club. Scumbag.

And mine - it’s a part of our history that won’t be forgotten for various reasons. A small reminder will allow us to ensure that it is never repeated.This gets my vote
You cannot really believe that.
You would be happy with a portrait of Whyte hanging within the confines of Ibrox?
No chance

I tend to agree it's history and it shouldn't be 'whitewashed' (no pun intended). Rather a small plaque stating what he did. Do we now have portraits of Ally, Warburton, Perdo & SG in the blue room? I seem to recall there were none from Sir Walter?I'm in two minds. On the one hand, they (Somers as well) have no place at Ibrox.
