Thanks to @Gizmo231 for putting together a succinct, but well-written, obituary on behalf of the site. https://www.gersnet.co.uk/index.php/news-category/current-affairs/1063-fernando-ricksen-1976-2019

And some people still think that the BBC is a relationship we should be working on? They are disgusting scum. I can't believe they think this is appropriate today. Just when you think they can't stoop any lower they come up with this. The BBC up here is a cancer we can do without.

One of those occasions when RIP seems all the more fitting. He's found a release from the living death he has been enduring in a body slowly shutting down. Given the opposition tomorrow night an impeccably observed minutes silence would also be fitting.

Seen several of the options, some quite interesting others not so much. Probably be best to simply knock it down and start again, would probably be quicker and would give a bespoke building rather than making the best of a bad job.

A sea of Orange along with the Feyenoord supporters would be an incredible sight. Tomorrow night should be a celebration, and a mark of respect for Fernando and his incredible life.

Very sad news.

t the moment the club are currently heavily looking into what to do with Edmiston houseThese plans include a proper ticket office, a Museum and a huge cafeIt is unclear whether they will knock it down and start again or completely revamp it, it is currently undergoing treatment for Asbestos Plans for the Museum are hugely encouraging, there is now a staff member hired to collate & catalogue every bit of material within Ibrox - from medals to scrap books etc - this is ongoing Although definite plans haven’t been concluded & studies are ongoing, big plans to give the club the platform it deserves for these things, are most definitely underway The boards promises continue to be carried out(Thought it was worth sharing, especially news on museum becoming more than just lip service)

BBC Scotland and the Daily Record are both equally disgusting as each other for what they have printed/said today. A matter of hours after Ricksen passed away they're publishing that shit? Disgusting scumbags.

RIP Fernando. His bravery while fighting this terrifying disease for 6 years will be his legacy, even with his trophy laden football career. MND is one of the few diseases left which mankind has developed no cure or treatment for. It’s time that changed!

43 is no age . Nothing to add to what has been said above. Minute's silence tomorrow maybe?

At least he is at peace now. I wouldn't wish that sickness on my worst enemy. RIP.

Just heard this, awful news. He fought all the way as we knew he would. Very sad day indeed.

It was being run relatively successfully under Ian Armstrong and Sylvia but when Armstrong 'left', the new guy just wasn't as good at getting a crowd in and I think people's tastes were changing and the use of the club fell away.

A couple of farcical VAR decisions too. Never a penalty against Robertson and a ridiculous penalty against Valencia. Justice was done in the end with Barkley missing

Aye I remember that too Mack. I think that whole building was eventually owned by Response handling as a call centre, which was another of Murray’s companies. I can’t remember why the Rangers club closed?

Remember it used to be Rangers Club,another part of history ruined by greedy people with hands in the till. You could get in for a pint on match days with a member but a tie had to be worn. I was a member and seen a few decent shows on some Saturday nights.

So would I if 4th official could be trusted to handle it.Would also like to see similar to rugby,American Football etc. time clock being used to start stop games in case of injury,substitions so that correct amount of time is played instead of fourth official making decision.

I would much prefer a sin bin time penalty than a yellow card. The people who benefit from yellow cards is never the team that has been erred against.

He's far from gash and looks a lot better than Hastie has in his games.
