Neil Doncaster, SPFL chief executive, said: "We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Turnbull Hutton.
"I was fortunate enough to get to know Turnbull during the period of reconstruction and since. He was an individual who added great colour and personality to the Scottish game and has made a tremendous contribution to both Raith Rovers and to Scottish football in general over the years.
"The thoughts of everyone at the SPFL are with the family and close friends of Turnbull at this very sad time."
