Hi guys, my brother, like myself a lifelong R, died yesterday morning.He was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago and became wheelchair bound. At Christmas time he contracted a brain tumour which ultimately did for him.Through all of this, he remained in good spirits and followed the r's every game. It's so sad that he wont be around for the play-offs he would have loved them. I'm just hoping the team can do it for him, Derek wont be screaming at the TV on Friday night, I will be and I will be raising a glass to him. Come on U R'SSSSSSSS! |  | | |  |

It would be even more fitting if we do it |  | | |

Condolences and best wishes to all who knew him. He sounds like a top bloke.
When it hurts remember that loss is only painful because you have lost someone special, and try to hold on to what was special. | | | |

There are never the words for somebody at a time like this, suffice to say there are those that feel your pain and those that one day will. I like to feel that we are part of a Rangers family, a mismatch of individuals bound by one love.
I'm sorry that Derek won't get to see us triumph at Wembley ( God willing) but I don't doubt for a second that you will be watching with the heart of 2.
RIP Derek |
Well written HTID.
Never like to hear of a fellow R pass on, but it sounds as if he fought a good fight.

The thing that shines through in your words is the positive approach that your brother took to this awful illness.
Condolences. For ever in the memory. |  |

Just got back from oop there
Just before kick off I looked skywards and asked me old Nan for some devine intervention and immediately thought of this and all other recently departed R's.
Nan, Derek and the rest of you - job half done on this installment; thanks for that now do your business Monday night.
C'MON ON U R's!!!! |  |

I kept looking skywards and asking for divine intervention from Nan and Derek.
Cheers you two!
My mate asked me whose this Derek? He's one of us mate, I said, he's one of us.
Just one job left from you sorely missed R's up there.
Feel you on the 24th | |
