A truly horrible day for many people I know and a couple who became family through our friendship. My heart and wishes go to you all this evening.
I didn't know Gibby well, only ever spoke through other mutual friends and I'll have played either with or against him some time back. I can only echo what others have said, a truly good guy with a good wit and one of us.
There's been a lot of discussion today and via social media 're stigma and mental health. The facts are that we don't have any facts just now and I'm not aware of anything being mentioned this far in that area so its very easy to draw conclusions. Perhaps se will find out uf there was a clue or trigger.
Please fellow fans, do not continue to suffer. We have a massive thread in the Lounge and also a common cause now. Although we do not know what happened, should anyone need anything from any of us, use our support. A rant, a cry, a rage, a shoulder, advice, somebody to carry us over that emotional period. So much help is there with zero judgement and even less caring of what, why how or where.[/QUOTE
I haven't really said much about this situation as it all felt utterly surreal.
Gibby was part of the Rangers Family. The guys and girls you meet that share your love for our club. Matching his passion was never easy for anyone, and like most of us he defined himself as a Rangers man.
As @daven37 said earlier, he was hugely popular at FF11s and 7s. Always stepped up to help run games, always one of the first to have his name down to play. He loved the competition, as many an ear-bent ref and opposing player can testify.
I've had mates who only met him through the odd game of football message me during all this hoping for good news. He truly was well-liked.
There's many, many people who knew him better than I ever did. This one will hit them hard. From my family, friends, and all of myself, I offer condolences to everyone.
We'll miss you Gregor.
Its' a family thing ,his Gran was the most straight up person, you would ever meet .Reading this it's incredible how many people knew Gibby and loved him. The thing coming across is how he lacked any malice, or side. You met him and knew he was straight up.
true words m8 .Only really knew Gregor (Gibby) through Monday night 7 a sides.
Always first to turn up
Always ready with a joke about late comers or mismatching tops and getting a laugh
Always something interesting to talk about
Always up for the game and his enthusiasm was infectious.
Enjoyed playing in his team, hated playing against him, could read me like a book.
We have lost a popular and fine Rangers man.
To his closest friends and family, @Mathias - stay strong.
Such a sad loss.
Honoured to have known you.
RIP Gregor.
I have been checking the thread on a daily basis hoping for a miracle. It is clear from the tributes that Gregor was a fine young man. I had never had the privilege of meeting him unlike many others on here, but being brought up in Woodhill I know what a great man Gibby senior is. Condolences to the family at this awful time.
RIP Gregor
