AN appeal to find a vintage Rangers shirt for a fan who passed away aged just 28 has ended in success.
Devastated Emma Hadden appealed to fellow supporters to help her track down a 1989 Rangers top for the funeral of her partner Christopher Paterson.
The Livingston-man passed away suddenly on May 3.
Emma and Christopher's heartbroken sister Angela Paterson were able to track down their coveted shirt from a "fellow bear" on Twitter.
Thank you to everyone involved! This truly brought some happiness to the family at this sad time đâ¤ď¸ https://t.co/xinqbhuMYZ

âI canât explain how any of us are feeling apart from lost and numb right now and feel like it's a nightmare we are all going to wake up from, sadly it's not.
âWords can't express how much I'm going to miss this lad especially his humour, cheekiness and his straight to the point attitude.
My partner sadly passed away on Thursday at the age of 28. All his life he loved and followed Rangers.

Myself and the rest of the family were wondering if it was possible to find a 1989 rangers top for his funeral as thatâs what heâd always wanted. @RangersFC @RangersFC pic.twitter.com/LsI0TAAF8N
