Can you post Goldson’s and Tav’s? Not seen them
I said last year that we should name the training ground after him.He should be put into the hall of fame this year without doubt. I’ve been saying it for years but it needs to happen now

The club will miss Jimmy dearly. Those wee anecdotes build connections to the players and pass on history to the next set of players. Players who would otherwise have had no genuine affiliation.
Jimmy is the reason a lot of these players will have adopted the "once a Ranger, always a Ranger" mantra.
Im genuinely devastated hes gone
Its a sad sad day for The rangers Family.Another brilliant and heart warming story.
I think one of the attributes that made him who he was is that he would never have written a long form gossip column. All those players referring to him as a confidante trusted him not to plaster their secrets all over social media for a reason.If there is one person I wish had written a book, then that person is Jimmy.
It would have been a bestseller on day one.

Me….as usualSomebody chopping onions?
Good idea mate.We should maybe have a thread dedicated to player tributes. Davis and McGregor also put stuff out. It's all on their Instagram accounts

I think we would all have loved to read the book but it is a huge tribute to his integrity that despite being very far from being the highest paid st the club he never attempted to cash inI think one of the attributes that made him who he was is that he would never have written a long form gossip column.

This ongoing loyalty to the club that so many players have is forged in the day-to-day of the club and Jimmy Bell was there every day - making things run smoothly, having a laugh, clipping someone’s wings, no doubt putting an arm round a shoulder when required too.
People talk about an assistant manager being a buffer to the manager but I think our kitman was probably a buffer to even that.
Eyes & ears of the club and support for the players.
Walter Smith and now Jimmy Bell gone this season - so much to celebrate in each of them, and so much to miss.
