‘Character can see us through’

GIOVANNI van Bronckhorst believes the “character” of his Rangers players will shine through against RB Leipzig tonight as they bid to reach the Europa League final while still mourning the shock death of kitman Jimmy Bell.

The death of the popular and long-serving Bell at the age of 69 was announced by the Ibrox club on Tuesday.

The news came as the Light Blues were preparing for their semi-final second leg at Ibrox, where they will bid to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.

“It was a hard day for all of us,” said the Rangers boss.

“We still mourn, we are still down, but the character of my players are the best I have seen in any teams I have coached.”
