Rangers-daft family shocked after dead dad's stolen 'Simply The Best' memorial returned to grave

A Rangers-daft family are celebrating after a thief who stole a treasured plaque from a graveside had a change of heart.

Jayne Cockburn, 38, was left devastated after discovering the memorial stone dedicated to her late father Ian had been taken from his grave at Tranent Cemetery in East Lothian in February this year. The plaque features the Ibrox club's badge along with the words 'Simply The Best'.

Jayne, from Hawick in the Scottish Borders, said she and relatives had been left "sad and angry" at the cruel theft - but they've now been left stunned after discovering the stolen memento was returned to the spot where it was taken from last week. And the thief has not only brought the plaque back - but they have fixed damage the stone suffered before it was stolen.
