The football community have been thrown into mourning following the demise of Davie Wilson, a former Rangers and Scotland winger who died at the age of 85.
Between 1957 and 1967, Wilson made 373 appearances for the club and won 22 caps for Scotland.
Wilson’s family announced last August that he had stopped attending Ibrox games due to “ongoing Alzheimer’s and dementia issues.”
Rangers said in a statement: “Rangers Football Club are today extremely saddened to hear of the passing of former player Davie Wilson at the age of 85.
“The thoughts of the directors, staff and players of Rangers are today with the family and friends of Davie.”
Wilson was a member of the team that reached the European Cup Winners’ Cup final in 1961 and won 11 domestic trophies during his time at Ibrox.
Wilson played over 100 times for Dundee United before finishing his career at Dumbarton after leaving Rangers in 1967 at the age of 28.
He went on to manage Dumbarton and Queen of the South, leading them to the Scottish Premier League in 1984.
