Rangers star Scott Arfield has paid tribute to tragic ex-football ace Chris Mitchell in a heartfelt post on what would have been his 30th birthday.
The former Clyde FC and Falkirk defender Mitchell died suddenly at a level crossing near Stirling in May 2016.
A picture was posted on the 29-year-old Gers star's Twitter alongside an emotional caption which read: "Happy 30th to this man. Keep singing up there. You’re missed everyday. #mitch.”

The Tweet has received more than 2,000 likes and fans of the footballer's former clubs have flooded the post with comments.
One fan wrote: "Always fondly remembered at Queen of the South FC."
Anothe added: "Falkirk boys forever."
The 27-year-old Scottish footballer had spells at Clyde, Queen of the South and Falkirk.
He made 18 appearances for Clyde FC between 2012 and 2015 before quitting the club to focus on his full-time job.
Following Chris' death, Clyde FC aimed to highlight the importance of speaking about mental health by joining forces with anti-discrimination charity See Me.
The League Two team wore the See Me logos on their shirts and encouraged people, particularly men, to talk about how they are feeling before their problems become too much.
