A group of Rangers fans living with life-changing or terminal illnesses were able to spend the morning with their footballing heroes, 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.

11 Dream Day nominees and their guests were invited to the Rangers Training Centre in the morning and had the chance to meet the Men’s First Team players and management team. Then they enjoyed an autograph session, exclusive access to watch training, lunch at Ibrox and a Museum Tour. Two of the younger guests were even treated to a kick about and a race!

Men’s Captain James Tavernier said: “I think the Rangers Charity Foundation Dream Days are really important. As players and staff, we want to give back to fans. You hear so many special stories and it’s a really big motivation; you want to see and put smiles on people’s faces.”

Dream Day nominee James Bradley, who was nominated by wife Fiona, has been bravely battling a brain tumour for many years. He commented: “It has been really good meeting the players and it has just been a fantastic day.”

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 circumstances.

Dream Fund experiences include our behind-the-scenes Dream Day at the Training Centre, Matchday Experiences, Dream Fund letters and much more.

Rachael Cosgrove, Charity Executive at the Foundation said: “It is both the most humbling and rewarding part of my job to be able to meet our guests who have been going through so much and organise special days like today for them on behalf of the Rangers Family when they are most in need of a boost.”
