I Found myself in tears at the start and end of Fernando Ricksen's Tribute game, almost 42,000 people came out on a dreech, windy Sunday in January, to watch auld duffers miskick a ball around and all to help a man the don't know personally who finds himself facing the most terrible fate, the sheer emotion of a standing ovation and everyone inside the stadium singing his name was in itself more powerful than any political rhetoric or Hollywood scripted monologue.

Somehow I find a little faith restored in the intrinsic good in people, in a world where we are encouraged to highlight our differences, not the basic things we share, like compassion, community and the positive power of people who believe in doing what's right, it was amazing to watch so many buck the trend and do something selfless.

God bless you Fernando, you did more for us today in reminding us what can be acheived in positive movement than we can ever repay.

Football can be emotional. For the greats who have ill healthand the unfortunate deaths of our football greats Wee Jinky , Super Cooper the list goes on mate. Well done to one and all inside Ibrox today and the many people who have supported players who have donned their skill in our country.

fantastic post m8, emotional as I am, and you too by the sound of it, you hit a soft spot in me, I loved Nando, and his fun, crazy, carefree outlook and actions, he is an inspiration to us all, as was jinky, I lost my wee bro recently to a horrible disease, he was a big Gers boy and would have loved to be there today, he lived his life just like Fernando, although I was working today I am proud to be part of the " family" specially on days like I've been described today, we are hopefully on the brink of uprising, and showed today what Rangers are all about,
God bless you Nando, and good luck to the Glasgow Rangers

For me it was remembering how good the atmosphere is when Ibrox is filled like that and things are going well, I hope the coming weeks will be stepping stones back to an atmosphere like that every other Saturday. All the very best Fernando so glad he got that crowd today very proud to be a Gers supporter today well done everyone who took park and bought a ticket.
