RANGERS legend Davie Wilson has sadly passed away aged 85.
The former Gers winger was battling dementia and was a regular spectator at Ibrox up until last summer.
Wilson made his competitive debut for his boyhood club in January 1957 in a league game against Dundee.
He made 373 appearances across 11 seasons in Govan, playing under Scot Symon, scoring a total of 158 goals before departing the club in 1967 to join Dundee United.
The winger was also part of the Rangers team that reached the 1961 European Cup Winners’ Cup final against Fiorentina.
For Rangers, he won four League titles, five Scottish Cups and two League Cups as part of 11 honours with his beloved club.
At international level, Wilson had a successful career with Scotland, earning 22 caps and scoring 10 goals for his country.
Wilson was a three-time Hall of Fame inductee with Rangers, Dundee United and Scotland after contributing great achievements and success for each of these teams.
A Rangers statement added: "The thoughts of the directors, staff and players of Rangers are today with the family and friends of Davie."
