Rangers and Scotland legend Jim Baxter has died of cancer at the age of 61. The former Ibrox idol, affectionately known as "Slim Jim", was diagnosed with the disease in January and spent a month in hospital before returning to his Glasgow home to spend his final days with his family.

Baxter was one of the finest wing-halves in world football in the early 1960s when he won three league championships, three Scottish Cups and four League Cups with Rangers.

During his two stints with the club he made 254 appearances and scored 24 goals.

Baxter also won 34 caps for Scotland and represented the Rest of the World in the FA centenary match against England at Wembley in 1963.
