Letters to Rangers players from family and friends

[Vivis Sperandum]

Article on The Athletic. Behind a paywall, but if you're quick enough on the Esc button you'll be able to see it.

Before they face Frankfurt, The Athletic spoke to mums, dads, brothers, sisters and childhood coaches of the squad, who wrote letters addressed to their loved ones to express how proud they are of what they have achieved and to wish them luck for the final.

Great to hear all the stories and well-wishes from those that helped them get to this moment. Be forewarned: may bring a tear to a glass eye.

Man, if you even get half way through those without the tears I'd be amazed - you'd need a heart of granite.

Great read.

Borna's is a cracker.

To Borna,

Like every child, and every pair of brothers, we grew up playing football together dreaming of playing at big clubs one day. Your dream came true and because of that, mine did too...

Tavs mums letter is lovely. They sound really close, and like things weren't easy for them when he and his brother were little, which just makes me love him all the more.

[ambyblue]

One of the best reads I have seen on FF.

 

[Scarlett]

%^*& me man. I really want to win, this team deserves it.

They really do seem to be a truly special group of human beings as well as being a great team of footballers.

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

Beautiful stuff and no wonder theyre playing like this with support and encouragement like that.

 

[Thomas Vallance]

For Fuxake man. I’d been quite calm and keeping it together really well.
