He told the Falkirk Herald: “It’s a really tough time for the family. We’re absolutely delighted to get the victory on Saturday for her.

“She’s a massive part of the club. It’s so sad, she’s been in here as a volunteer for so long.

“She was here consistently every Saturday for games.

“It’s a massive blow and we’re absolutely devastated for her family. In particular her dad Ian, who we know really well, so our hearts go out to them.”

On the minute’s applause, McKinnon said: “The fans were fantastic and she richly deserved the minute’s applause.

“So sad, so young and it puts everything into perspective for everybody.

“It’s important that you try and enjoy your life the best you can, work as hard as you can, but you’ve got to enjoy it because life is very unexpected.

“We’re all devastated for her.”
