Dundee United chairman Eddie Thompson has died following a long battle with prostate cancer.
The 67-year-old Glasgow-born businessman, who made his money through convenience stores, became the majority shareholder at the club in 2002.
Over the course of six years, he turned a £2.7m loss into an operating profit and set up a fans' trust that became United's second-largest stakeholder.
His death comes only days after that of his son-in-law in a motorbike accident.
