Terminal Rangers fans have been treated to a dream day with their heroes.
A group of supporters with life limiting, or changing, illnesses were able to spend the morning with football legends, thanks to the Rangers Charity Foundation.
The Club’s official charity helps bring smiles to the faces of those who are most in need of a boost, through its ‘Dream Fund’ initiative.
This gave 11 Dream Day nominees, and their guests, the chance to meet the Men’s First Team and Manager before an autograph session then enjoying exclusive access to watch training.
The fans, who had all been nominated for this exclusive experience by family or friends, were then treated to a special lunch at Ibrox and a stadium tour.

“Growing up a fan all my life, this is something everyone dreams of doing.
“I’ve met some of my favourite players and overall it has been fantastic.”

Men’s First Team player, Jack Butland, commented: “I think the Rangers Charity Foundation is hugely important.
“As players we are very privileged to do what we do but to have days like this and be able to put smiles on people’s faces who are going through really difficult times is an honour.”
