EDITORS COMMENTS
In a heartwarming and emotional tribute, former Rangers footballer Fernando Ricksen was paraded to the adoring crowd at Ibrox Stadium during the Scottish League One match against Brechin City on January 11, 2014. The Dutch defender, who won the Scottish Premier League title and Scottish Cup with Rangers in 2003, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2013 and has since become an inspiration to many with his courage and determination in the face of adversity. As the half-time whistle blew, the PA Wire photograph captures the moment Ricksen, visibly moved, was brought onto the pitch in a wheelchair, surrounded by current and former Rangers players. The fans rose as one, filling the stadium with a deafening roar of applause and appreciation. Ricksen, with tears in his eyes, waved and smiled at the sea of supporters, many of whom held up scarves and banners in his honor. The tribute was a reminder of the special bond between the players and the fans, and the unwavering support that Rangers Football Club continues to provide to one of its beloved former players. The image of Ricksen being honored at half-time is a poignant reminder of the power of sport to bring people together, to inspire and to offer hope in difficult times. The trophies in the background, including the Scottish Cup won by Rangers in 2003, serve as a testament to the success that Ricksen helped to achieve during his time at the club. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit of football and the enduring love between a football club and its fans.
