Former Celtic goalkeeper Rab Douglas has sent his sympathy to the family of a woman who died on a flight to Edinburgh .
A 58-year-old was taken ill on a Ryanair plane as it prepared to leave Palma airport, Majorca on Wednesday.
According to the Arbroath coach two women helped until paramedics boarded the aircraft to treat the passenger.
However, she died after reportedly suffering a heart attack.
Rab, who also played for Dundee, took to Twitter to praise the 'amazing' women who gave medical care to the passenger who took ill.
He hoped the woman made amazing memories with her family while on holiday on the Spanish island.
He wrote: "Thoughts go out to the Scottish lady who passed away on our flight yesterday and her family.
"So sad, I hope she made amazing memories with her family.
"The two ladies who worked on her until the medical team came on were absolutely amazing. Sad times."
A Ryanair spokeswoman said: "This flight from Palma to Edinburgh (May 22) was delayed ahead of take-off after a customer became ill prior to departure.
"Paramedics boarded the aircraft after medical assistance was requested but the customer sadly passed away.
"Ryanair extends its deepest sympathies to the bereaved and is providing any assistance required."
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "Our consular staff are supporting the family of a British woman following her death in Spain."
