Rangers taking care of Ricksen's funeral

[dublinbluenose]

Welling up reading about this, no club like us family think a wee chip around for the staff that looked after him wouldnt go a miss.

Alex Rae said yesterday that the hospice that cared for Fernando is self funding and they rely on public donations.maybe when the charity foundation announces which charities it’s going to support it could include the hospice as one of the charities

Well done Rangers and Stan, who must be going through a hard time too.

Read earlier Stan went and sat with Fernando for a few hours after he passed along with his carer.

When our club gets it right, we are simply a class above.

 

[True Blue]

A fine and fitting decision, shows the class of our Club at this very sad time.

Boy am I so proud to be Born a Ranger.
We are indeed the People.

Absolute Class from the club.

My wife due to her illnesses has had the odd bit of rest at St Andrews and the staff are amazing.
They do lots of collections for them and they also run their own monthly lottery for about £4/5 a month.
We do this as a way of collecting for them. They tend to do this in the hospital receptions , sign up for it.

 

[WolverineBlues]

Outstanding and class, looking after one of our own. Just another example of why I love our club.

 

[blue_radley]

I've always been proud of my club and the fact that the club are handling everything to do with Fernando's funeral just adds to it.

[CajunBear]

He raised over a million for MND charities since his diagnosis, he has earned the right for us to help out his family at this difficult time.

Well done Rangers.

Out of a horrible dark tragedy our wonderful club are doing a beautiful thing for a man who deserves nothing less than the utmost respect for all he gave, for all he endured, with the bravery and dignity he showed us all.

God bless you Fernando & thank you Glasgow Rangers

Great gesture by the club.

As an aside , many a time I have seen people on here asking where they can buy ST wallets , the club sell one for £2 , proceeds to the Benevolent Fund.
