Fernando Ricksen has passed away


Recommended Posts

It's such a terrible disease and it was terrible seeing him deteriorate the way he did.  RIP.  I'm choosing to remember him as he was in his playing days with us rather than in the images we've seen more recently.  When these things happen it puts so many other things in perspective.

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!

Rangers to pay tribute to Fernando Ricksen ahead of Feyenoord match

 

UEFA have confirmed that Rangers will pay tribute to late cult hero Fernando Ricksen before Thursday night's Europa League fixture with Feyenoord.


European football's governing body have granted permission for a minute's silence to be held before kick-off at Ibrox tomorrow night and the Rangers players will wear black armbands in Ricksen's honour.


A UEFA spokesman said: "We can confirm that UEFA has accepted a request by Rangers FC to wear black armbands and hold a minute's silence before their UEFA Europa League group stage match with Feyenoord on 19 September in Glasgow."


Ricksen tragically passed away at the age of 43 on Wednesday morning after a prolonged battle with Motor Neurone Disease.
