Rangers paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at training today with all teams taking part in a minute's silence.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst's top team squad, the youth academy and women's team all took part as they paid their respects following the sad news of her passing aged 96. The UK's longest-serving monarch died at Balmoral yesterday afternoon after reigning for 70 years.
The Ibrox side sent their thoughts to the Royal Family and everyone else in mourning last night and they've now paid a further tribute at the Rangers Training Centre earlier today. An image showed the teams gathered round the centre circle with the club writing online: "A minute of silence observed by all teams at The Rangers Training Centre in memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."
