- CONNOR GORDON

A DRUNK junior footballer who killed a Rangers fan in a horror car crash was jailed for four years yesterday.

Largs Thistle player Craig Forbes, 23, was more than twice the legal limit when he smashed into David Horn's car on the A78 in Inverclyde on October 15, 2022. The dad of two, 59, later died from his injuries. 

Tributes were paid to David at Ibrox as fans held an applause on the 59th minute at a Rangers v Livingston match.

The season ticket holder from Wemyss Bay was described as a "loving, caring and compassionate husband and father, and a ready, willing and true friend to many."

The retired procurement manager is survived by his wife and two children. 

First offender Forbes pled guilty at the High Court in Glasgow to causing death by dangerous driving.
