'The Rangers Maradona' Alejandro Bedoya talks up legendary Ibrox staffer

Kitman Jimmy Bell clearly makes a lasting impression on Rangers players - no matter how long they spend at the club.

That became more evident as former Ibrox man Alejandro Bedoya remarked that he looks like the Light Blues' answer to Diego Maradona in a hilarious Twitter exchange.

The official Gers Twitter account posted a retro image of Bell lugging around a sack of footballs in an Italian pre-season training camp in 1990.

And the likeness wasn't lost on midfielder Bedoya, who compared him to the Argentina great.

He said: "Looks like the Scottish Maradona!"

Ex-teammate Sone Aluko also chimed in and remarked: "Maradona looks like an Argentinian Jimmy Bell tho - JB is the bigger legend here. What a guy!"

Bedoya only spent one season in Glasgow before moving on to Helsingborgs, Nantes, and current club Philadelphia Union.

Replying to Aluko, he added: "Haha for sure. I still don’t understand what JB was saying when talking to me with that strong Glasgow accent."
