Week 43 update

One death this week, the footballer Jimmy Millar: Rangers: Jimmy Millar dies aged 87 - BBC Sport

Quote

Former Rangers and Scotland striker Jimmy Millar has died at the age of 87.

Millar began his career at Dunfermline but was signed by legendary Rangers boss Scot Symon in January 1955 and played for the Ibrox club for 12 years.

During that time the Edinburgh-born forward won three league titles, five Scottish Cups and three League Cups.

Millar, who won two caps for Scotland, scored 162 goals in 317 appearances for Rangers and was later inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.

"A tough, brave and quick centre-forward, our thoughts are with Jimmy's family at this sad time," said a Rangers statement.

The articles about him from the usual sources aren't very detailed, so I don't have a lot else to add. I will steal this picture from the Daily Record's piece though, since it's always nice to remember how good football used to look:

Millar died at 87 so he's worth 38 Base Points for @ICTJohnboy and @JustOneCornetto. Johnboy gets an extra 25 for the Deadly Duo bonus taking him to 63 points, while the ice cream gets the Deadly Duo bonus and a Vice-Captain bonus taking him to 82 points.

After that, the standings look like this:

1. Bishop Briggs 691
