GLASGOW. Rangers FC lay wreath outside Ibrox stadium in tribute of the Queen after her death.
Rangers' floral tribute in respect of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II after she passed away earlier this week.
The Ibrox side have displayed their condolences on numerous occasions this week since her passing was announced on Thursday evening.
All of the Gers men's and woman's sides held minute's silences before training on Friday as a mark of respect for her commitment and service to the UK.
Rangers released pictures on social media today of the club's directors and manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst laying a wreath beneath the statue of club icon John Greig outside Ibrox.
On Thursday, the club lowered their Union Flag above the main entrance of Ibrox to sit at half-mast after the announcement of Her Majesty's death.
Tributes have been pouring in from all of Scottish football since the death of the Monarch was announced.
Hearts took part in a minute's silence ahead of the second half of their Europa Conference League opener against Istanbul Basaksehir to remember the influential monarch.
Before the second half kicked off, Hearts posted on social media: "The club is aware of the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
"As a mark of respect, we will observe a minute’s silence at the start of the second half of tonight’s Europa Conference League match and both teams and the officials will wear black armbands."
Rangers even cancelled a fan event with club legends Brian Laudrup and Paul Gascgoine.
Before that they led tributes online on Thursday night as they shared a picture of their dressing room featuring an image of Her Majesty Elizabeth II.
Since then, former Rangers boss Graeme Souness has came out and revealed the reasoning behind the picture within the dressing room.
Writing in the Daily Mail, he revealed his influence in making sure the picture became a piece of history within the stadium.
He said: "One of the first things I did when I became Rangers manager, seven years earlier, was ask our kitman, Doddie Soutar, to get me the biggest portrait of our Queen that he could find, which we hung on the home dressing room wall.
"It has remained there to this day.
