The victims of the Ibrox disaster have been remembered in a poignant wreath-laying ceremony outside the stadium.

Today marks 52 years since the tragic events of January 2, 1971, when 66 Rangers supporters were killed in a crush at Stairway 13 at the end of an Old Firm fixture.

Ahead of today's game against Celtic, a crowd of supporters gathered at the disaster memorial for a service.
