Jimmy Bell was at Rangers for over 30 years; he was regarded as a vital part of the first team group; chairman Douglas Park pays tribute saying the club have "lost a legend and a friend"; Giovanni van Bronckhorst says Rangers should make Bell proud by reaching the Europa League final.

Rangers have paid tribute to their "much-loved, legendary kit man" Jimmy Bell, who has died at the age of 69.

He was a constant presence at Ibrox for the past 30 years, gaining a cult status among the club's support.

Bell started driving the Rangers team buses to matches across the country, before moving on to his current role as first-team head of kit.

Regarded as a vital member of the Rangers' set-up, he was there during the successful times such as the nine in a row era and UEFA Cup final run and remained during administration, bottom-tier football and their return to the Scottish Premiership.
