RANGERS have observed a minute of silence this morning at their training ground in memory of The Queen.
The death of Elizabeth II, 96, who was the nation’s longest-reigning monarch and served as head of state for more than 70 years, was announced by Buckingham Palace on Thursday.
As a result, all football matches in Scotland have been postponed in a mark of respect.
