EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken during the Rangers vs All Stars Tribute Match at Ibrox Stadium, a sea of flags waves in the air, paying homage to the legendary footballer Fernando Ricksen. The Dutch-born defender, who spent six years at Rangers from 2000 to 2006, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2013, leaving the football community heartbroken. The tribute match, organized by the Rangers Football Club and various football personalities, aimed to raise funds and awareness for the Fernando Ricksen Foundation, a charity set up to support those affected by Motor Neurone Disease. The stadium was filled to capacity, with fans from all walks of life coming together to honor Ricksen's memory and contribute to a worthy cause. The image captures the poignant moment when the flag bearers, dressed in Rangers colors, salute the crowd with a raised hand, as if in tribute to Ricksen's iconic playing style. The Scottish Cup Winners' Trophy from 2003, which Ricksen helped Rangers win, sits proudly on the pitch, a symbol of the team's successes and the memories that Ricksen contributed to. The flags, bearing the number 3, Ricksen's jersey number during his time at Rangers, flutter in the wind, creating a breathtaking sight that encapsulates the spirit of unity and solidarity among football fans. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of sport to bring people together, to celebrate the past, and to support those in need in the present. Kirk O'Rourke, the photographer, expertly captures the emotion and energy of the moment, creating a timeless image that will be cherished by Rangers fans and football enthusiasts alike. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Fernando Ricksen and the indomitable spirit of football.
