After battling cancer, my 72yr old dad passed this afternoon and is now at peace

A Rangers fan of 60+ years, we still travelled home and away on the Supporters bus to watch his beloved.

My dad was an old school man, never showed much emotion. I can say with hand on heart that one of the abiding memories for me will be catching that sparkle in his eye and smile on his face the split second after Rangers scored. A love for the club that couldn't be hidden.

Thank you Rangers, the players, the fans, the bus, the pish stops on long away days, everything about this club that makes us what we are, cause it all came together and made my dad happy for his whole life.

Even with a terminal disease, he renewed his season ticket knowing full well that hed never be back and only doing so for his 11yr old granddaughter, who's recent love of Rangers made him proud.

RIP dad

Brilliant eulogy, my dad died in January knowing it was coming home. Nothing wrong with being proud of your quiet old man. Mine was old school too. All the best fellow bear.

I'm so glad he got to see 55 mate. The day we lifted the trophy I was with my old man. We had endured the pain together. We both wept at the end. Every year he asks me if I'll renew, he knows the answer and always follows suit. We sit together at Ibrox. My heart goes out to you brother
