Rangers followers predict Celtic Euro doomsday as they warn to pack a parachute - Hotline

He never kicked a ball for the club or took a coaching session, but Rangers are in no doubt Jimmy Bell will go down as an Ibrox legend.

The Light Blues are mourning the loss of one of their own this week after the death of their famous hitman, who has been part of the fabric of the club for more than 30 years.

Gary Stevenson, Newtonhill, said: “So sad that Rangers legend Jimmy Bell has passed away. He knew Rangers probably more than anyone. He worked alongside Graham Souness, Walter Smith, Ally McCoist, Steven Gerrard and Giovanni. A true football man who gave his heart and soul to the club he loved. Rest in Peace Jimmy.”

John Davidson, Armadale , said: “So sad to hear of the passing of Rangers kitman Jimmy Bell. The man was a legend in his 30 years plus service to Rangers. My thoughts and condolences are with his family, lest we forget.”

Kevin Lord, Drylaw, said: “In all my years watching Rangers play Hibs, or Rangers on TV, I cannot think of a single game Jimmy Bell wasn't prominent on the bench. One of the good guys.”

Gers fans might admit the Premiership has all but gone, but they still reckon their side are top dogs in Scotland after last weekend’s derby draw.

John Bruce, Glasgow, said: “No defeat for Celtic in the Old Firm. No referee conspiracies. Coincidence?

“Celtic had one shot on target at home and Rangers dominated the match. That has been the story of our season – drawing or losing games that we should have won.

“The results of both teams in Europe – where it matters – clearly show which is the better team.

“Celtic might need to wear parachutes next season to soften their landing when they plummet through three tournaments again.”

Stefan Lomako, Whithorn, said: “Rangers will be in the Champions League
