Glasgow 'legend' who turned 100 with butler in the buff dies as tributes pour in

A Glasgow 'legend' who celebrated her 100th birthday with a Butler in the Buff and her 102nd with an Ibrox Stadium tour, has passed away.

Jean Wright passed away aged 102 at a care home in Carntyne on June 14 - just months after receiving a birthday card from Rangers' Giovanni van Bronckhorst and taking a jaunt round Ibrox. The Dennistoun stalwart was born in a house on Duke Street on March 8 1920 and lived there till moving to the care home just over a year ago.

While the retired clerk had no partner or children of her own, she was known to many as 'Aunt Jean' and treated many friends 'like family'. In the wake of her passing, loved ones have paid tribute to their beloved 'aunt' who 'loved life like nobody else did'.
