Tributes have poured in for a Glasgow rapper who died after a cancer battle.

Tyler Green, known as Trigga, was one-half of the rap duo Triple01s, and his passing at the age of 22 was announced on Saturday morning.

Just earlier this month, the Govanhill artist shared a heartfelt video in which he told fans that, after being diagnosed with bone cancer last year and receiving an amputation, he was told that it had spread to his lungs.  

After 12 months of intense treatment, doctors told Tyler there was nothing more they could do for him.

A statement shared on the group's social media channels read: "It is with great sadness that we announce Tyler passed peacefully with his closest loved ones by his side at 2:20am this morning.

"Surely, we belong to Allah and verily to him do we return. RIP Tyler.

"A kid who touched every life he encountered in his journey through life, putting himself last before everyone he loved.

"It is indescribable to put into words the character he truly was. A fighter like no other.

"Even through his toughest battle yet he showed us all his willingness to win and fight like he did throughout his life."

Along with Shakar, known as YSK, Tyler was a Rangers supporter and the duo even filmed a music video for their single Ayo at Ibrox earlier this year.

The club paid tribute to Tyler, commenting: "RIP Tyler. The thoughts of everyone at Rangers are with Tyler's family and friends."

Hundreds of fans left messages of sympathy, with Magz Hannah writing: "So very sad.

"Tyler was such an inspiring young man, he was one of the young folk in the Govanhill youth projects football team ... and he always showed such passion, maturity, kindness and integrity in all that he did."

Joanne Mcrae added: "My heart goes out to everyone. I knew Tyler since he was in primary school. Always loved to street dance and sing. A very energetic boy. Always had a smile on his face."

Nicole Boyd said: "R.I.P Tyler you were an amazing boy sending loads of love and prayers to all your family and friends. You're a legend that will never be forgotten."
