Former Rangers midfielder David Hagen has died at 47 after battling motor neurone disease.

Hagen started his career at Ibrox and featured in the 1992-93 season when Rangers won the treble and came close to reaching the Champions League final.

From there he moved to Hearts, before five seasons at Falkirk and spells at Livingston, Clyde and Peterhead.

"We send our heartfelt condolences to the wider family circle at such a difficult time," Rangers said, external.

"Words cannot express, nor provide comfort, for a family during these circumstances."

Hagen was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2018 at the age of 45.

"We are devastated to learn of the passing of David Hagen," said former club Falkirk.

"David fought a courageous fight against MND and will forever be remembered by everyone associated with the club.
