REPRESENTATIVES from across the Old Firm divide gathered in Helensburgh today to pay their respects to former Rangers goalkeeper Bobby Brown.

The Ibrox legend, who also managed the Scotland national team, passed away on January 15 at the age of 96.

He was laid to rest in his hometown of almost 50 years following a service at St Michael and All Angels Church on Friday, with family and friends hosting a reception afterwards at the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club in Rhu.

Among the attendees at Mr Brown's funeral were fellow Rangers great John Greig, ex-Gers and Scotland gaffer Walter Smith, the club's managing director Stewart Robertson, former Celtic and Scotland international Murdo MacLeod, ex-Scotland manager Craig Brown and Ian Maxwell, chief executive of the Scottish Football Association.

Mr Brown, who famously led Scotland to victory over England at Wembley in 1967, the year after the Auld Enemy were crowned world champions, had lived in Helensburgh since 1970 and ran a seafront gift and coffee shop called 'Whichcraft' with wife Ruth.

He is survived by his sister, Agnes, his daughters Carolyn, Alison and Gillian, and by numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
