The legendary Barca Bears are on their way to Seville to support their former team in the UEFA Europa League final.

Famous ex-players of the 1972 Rangers team who won the European Cup Winners' Cup were spotted in the airport departure lounge ahead of their trip.

The group includes former midfielder Alex MacDonald as well as forwards Derek Johnstone, Willie Johnston and Colin Stein.

Another added: "Amazing let's make memories again."
