Tributes have been paid to former Clydebank striker Frank McDougall after he died at the age of 65.

McDougall revealed a year ago that he was battling stage two lung cancer.

He began his professional career at the Bankies, scoring 25 goals in 47 appearances before moving to St Mirren for a club - and Scottish - record fee of £150,000.

During his five-year stint with the Buddies, he scored 64 goals in 169 appearances.

Expressing their shock at the news, Clydebank posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: "It’s with much sadness we’ve learned of Frank’s passing.

"Frank spent the 1978-79 season with us and went on to score 28 goals in 47 appearances before moving to St Mirren for a club - and Scottish - record fee. Our thoughts are with Frank’s family and friends at this sad time."

Sir Alex Ferguson moved to take McDougall from St Mirren to Aberdeen in 1984 and he scored 44 goals in just two seasons at Pittodrie, helping the Dons win all three domestic trophies, including their last league title in 1985.

McDougall, who was forced into retirement by a back injury at the age of 29, was inducted into the Dons' Hall of Fame last year.
