What a shock this news was. It's not often a bus driver and kit man becomes a club legend. Jimmy will be hugely missed by players, officials and supporters. But most of all, by his family. Our hearts go out to them today.

Never thought I would feel loss for a kit man I never met but today I feel strangely gutted by this news. I have no memories of Rangers without Jimmy Bell being kitman and throughout all he was a constant. Rest Easy Jimmy and my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends 💙

That’s really knocked me for six. Jimmy, you’re gone far far too soon. The least we can do is get to the final and make him smile from on high. I’m heartbroken and devastated at this.

People outside of Rangers won't get it, how much we loved this man, how much it hurts us all with his premature passing. But this is the Rangers family and we all feel this.. We don't need to proclaim ourselves as 'a club like no other' because we just are, we know it, it's in our DNA, our blood, as soon as you are born into this club you become part of it. We live and breathe it EVERY DAY. You feel it when the tea lady retires, the concierge, the tour guides change, you feel it when they pass, we are a support of many creeds, colours and differing opinions but one thing unites us to the core... The Famous Glasgow Rangers! Jimmy Bell is a legend, he was dear to us and from the boardroom down, through every era he graced the club, he was loved and revered. Players, confided in him and went to him for advice, he schooled them on our history, our traditions, what it takes and what it means to be a Ranger. He was priceless in that respect. The measure of the man is how we are all feeling today and tonight, how we will feel tomorrow, and how we will feel on Thursday when we will roar his name and hopefully drive our team to a glory he deserved to be part of... But God had other plans... Let us give Jimmy an atmosphere on Thursday night that would have had him regaling future players for years to come, but let's make that atmosphere something that will drive our players to a glory that will be a fitting tribute to a man, a true gentleman, a Rangers legend, our kitman Jimmy Bell, who was taken from us all far too soon. God Bless You Jimmy ❤️🔴⚪🔵💔

Alan Stewart

Absolutely gutted to hear this. RIP Jimmy 💙

George Cook

R.I.P. Jimmy ❤⚽️💙
