Former Scotland defender Yeats dies aged 86

Legendary former Liverpool captain Ron Yeats has died at the age of 86.

The ex-Scotland defender was part of the Liverpool side that won the Second Division title in 1962, before going on to win two top-flight titles, the FA Cup and the Charity Shield three times.

He played 454 games before joining Tranmere in 1971.

More than 400 of those appearances were as captain, a tally bettered only by Steven Gerrard.
