EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, Peter Lovenkrands scores a goal during the tribute match held at Ibrox Stadium in honor of Fernando Ricksen. The Dutch midfielder's powerful strike sealed a 3-0 victory for Rangers in the Scottish Cup final of 2003. The match was organized to pay homage to Fernando Ricksen, a beloved former Rangers player who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in 2013. Ricksen, a Dutch international, spent three seasons at Rangers from 2000 to 2003, making a significant impact on the team and its fans. His tenacity, skill, and determination on the pitch endeared him to the Rangers faithful, and his diagnosis with MND, a progressive and debilitating condition, was met with an outpouring of support and love from the football community. The tribute match was a testament to the enduring bond between Ricksen and the Rangers fans. The stadium was filled to capacity, with fans wearing Ricksen's number 15 jersey in solidarity. The proceeds from the match went towards the Fernando Ricksen Foundation, which supports research into MND and provides care for those affected by the disease. Lovenkrands' goal, captured in this photograph, was a fitting tribute to Ricksen's time at Rangers. The Dutchman's celebration, with a raised jersey in honor of his former teammate, encapsulated the spirit of the day - a day dedicated to celebrating Ricksen's footballing legacy and raising awareness and funds for a worthy cause. The trophies and Scottish Cup winners' medals from the 2003 final, proudly displayed in the foreground, serve as a reminder of the team's success that season and the indelible mark Ricksen left on the club. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of football to bring people together in times of need and to celebrate the indomitable spirit of those who face adversity.
