Rangers in Jimmy Bell kit tribute with 'always remembered and loved' armband

Rangers will remember late kitman Jimmy Bell in this afternoon's Scottish Premiership clash against Dundee United with a special armband and shirt tribute.

The Light Blues take to Ibrox for the first time since Thursday's sensational Europa League semi-final win over RB Leipzig that booked their place in Seville for the final later this month.

And they will bear Bell's name on their kit for the game with the Tangerines at Ibrox, while captain James Tavernier will sport a specially designed armband in honour of the legendary Ibrox figure, who served the club for over 30 years.

It reads: 'Always Remembered and Loved. Jimmy Bell.'

The Wishaw man passed away last Tuesday at the age of 69, but he will forever remain in the hearts and minds of those who shared time with him down the years in Govan.

The Ibrox side posted images of the kit tributes on their social media accounts and fans are expected to pay their own tributes, with supporters encouraged to wear retro Rangers kits in Bell's memory.
