EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant moment captured at Ibrox Stadium, the Rangers Football Club bids a heartfelt farewell to their beloved teammate, Fernando Ricksen, during an emotional tribute match in 2003. The Dutch midfielder, diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease just a year prior, was carried off the pitch by his former teammates and close friends, Ronald de Boer and Thomas Buffel. The Scottish Cup Winning Squad of 2003, united in their support for Ricksen, came together for this special occasion to honor their brother in arms and raise awareness for Motor Neurone Disease. The stadium was filled with an air of solemnity and camaraderie as fans and players alike paid tribute to the courage and resilience of Ricksen, who continued to inspire everyone with his unwavering spirit despite the challenges he faced. The trophies and Scottish Cup winners' medals from the 2003 season were on display, serving as a reminder of the victories and memories shared between Ricksen and his teammates. The image of Ricksen being carried off the pitch by de Boer and Buffel is a powerful symbol of the bond between teammates and the unwavering support that football communities provide during times of adversity. This tribute match was a testament to the power of sport and the human spirit, and it continues to serve as an inspiration for all those affected by Motor Neurone Disease and other life-altering conditions. The memory of Fernando Ricksen and the love and support shown by the Rangers Football Club and its fans will forever be etched in the annals of Scottish football history.
