Rangers-daft family shocked after dead dad's stolen 'Simply The Best' memorial returned to grave
A Rangers-daft family are celebrating after a thief who stole a treasured plaque from a graveside had a change of heart.
Jayne, from Hawick in the Scottish Borders, said she and relatives had been left "sad and angry" at the cruel theft - but they've now been left stunned after discovering the stolen memento was returned to the spot where it was taken from last week. And the thief has not only brought the plaque back - but they have fixed damage the stone suffered before it was stolen.
"We are going down to get it cemented into the ground so it can't be taken again. Maybe someone has taken it and fixed it for themselves then realised it's [the story] is all over the papers so decided to return it - or it has been taken and fixed then returned as a good gesture to us. We are just so happy it's back though. We never thought we would ever see it again."
Ian, 71, passed away following a heart attack in June 2018 and regularly attended Rangers matches with his son John who organised the plaque following his father's death. Jayne added: "The Rangers plaque was laid by my brother. The connection with Rangers is purely a father and son bond who share an interest in the football club and team.
