Rangers legends and current squad pay Jimmy Bell respects at late kitman's funeral

Family, friends and former colleagues have gathered to remember late Rangers kitman Jimmy Bell.

The man from Wishaw's funeral is taking place in Glasgow after his recent passing.

His death was announced shortly before Rangers' Europa League semi-final second leg victory against RB Leipzig earlier this month.

Former players, coaches and others at the Premiership club have been paying tributes since to the kitman who dedicated over 30 years of his life to the Ibrox cause.

A private ceremony is taking place Wellington Church in Glasgow's West End before a procession past Ibrox this lunchtime.

Kenny Miller, Marvin Andrews, Richard Gough, Alex Rae, Ally McCoist, Andy Halliday and Stuart McCall were among the former Light Blues in attendance.

Club officials Stewart Robertson, Andrew Dickson, Alastair Johnson, Ross Wilson and John Bennett were also there along with Giovanni van Bronckhorst and members of his senior squad.

They are back in action for the final time this season on Saturday against Hearts in this year's Scottish Cup final.
