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.

10 Dream Day nominees and their guests gathered at the Rangers Training Centre and had the chance to meet the Men’s First Team, Danny Röhl and his coaching staff and enjoy an exclusive autograph session.

The group, who had all been nominated for this exclusive experience by family or friends, then enjoyed a special lunch at Ibrox and a stadium tour. Seven of the ten guests were under 18 and facing very difficult health battles.

Guest Colin, who attended with his brother-in-law Graham said:

“I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible kindness and generosity shown during our recent visit. The experience meant more to us than words can fully convey.

My brother-in-law, Graham—who is currently facing a terminal illness—was overwhelmed by the warmth and compassion shown by everyone we met. Your players, staff and representatives made him feel truly valued and welcomed, and the time we spent at the club brought him joy, excitement, and a sense of comfort that will stay with us forever.

I would like to offer a special and heartfelt thank you to Nico Raskin and Jack Butland for their kind words and the genuine care they showed. Nico has long been Graham’s favourite player, so seeing him in person was already a dream come true. When Nico came and knelt beside him for the group photo, it became a moment our family will never forget.

For me personally, seeing the happiness on Graham’s face during our visit is something I will always treasure. Your thoughtfulness created a memory that our family will hold close for the rest of our lives.”

Men’s First Team player, Nico Raskin, commented:

“When we meet fans like that who are unwell, it really puts things into perspective. We just try to give them a smile and a good moment.”

The Foundation’s Dream Fund pays for special Rangers experiences throughout the season for children and adults whose lives have been impacted by the likes of disability, illness, bereavement or other challenging circumstance.

Dream Fund experiences include our Behind The Scenes Dream Day at the Training Centre, Matchday Experiences, Dream Fund letters and much more. This season our Dream Fund has been generously supported by a group of individuals who attended our 2025 Charity Ball.

Rangers players meet Dream Day guests of the Rangers Charity Foundation.

Foundation Charity Executive Rachael Cosgrove, who coordinates Dream Day experiences, said:

“We loved welcoming our Dream Day guests and making sure they could have this special experience during very difficult times. They are so brave and this is something we can offer as a Club and Foundation to make their days a little brighter when they are most in need of – and very much deserving of – a boost.

We really appreciate the support of everyone who put their hands up to fund this special initiative at the Charity Ball this season”
