RANGERS legend Davie Wilson will no longer regularly attend matches at Ibrox after the ex-player's family revealed the 82-year-old is suffering from dementia.
Wilson - who spent over a decade at the Govan club as a player between 1965 and 1967, racking up over 200 appearances - has been a regular at his old stomping ground, and used to assist with corporate matchdays in Glasgow's south side.
However, a statement released by the former outside left's family announced that Wilson will no longer attend fixtures at his old club for health reasons.
The statement, released via the Rangers website, read: "The Wilson family would like to announce that due to ongoing Alzheimer’s and dementia issues, Rangers legend Davie Wilson has now retired from attending Ibrox on match days to watch his beloved Rangers.
"He was thrilled to see the Gers win their 55th league title and wishes his team all the very best in the forthcoming season."
Wilson won 11 major honours with Rangers before departing for Dundee United in 1967, scoring 99 times for the Glasgow side, and was capped on 22 occasions for the national team.
