The musician and producer Alan Rankine, co-founder of acclaimed Scottish band The Associates, has died aged 64.
Rankine's sons Callum and Hamish confirmed the news on the guitarist and keyboard player's Facebook page.
They said their father died peacefully at home shortly after spending Christmas with his family.
Rankine formed the Associates, whose biggest hit was Party Fears Two, with singer Billy Mackenzie in Dundee in 1979.

This is sad news. I like The Associates. Shame they never caught on over in North America. Their blend of new wave and synth pop was fun!
