Rangers have been presented with a special honour to mark their work with an armed forces charity ahead of Remembrance Day. 

The club and the Rangers Charity Foundation have helped to raise over £118,000 for Poppyscotland in just three years.

Can collections, auctioning shirts worn during matches and selling their dual-branded Poppyscotland Rangers badges have all contributed to the fund. 

As a thank you to the club for their efforts, Poppyscotland has gifted them with a framed poppy and certificate which is to be displayed at Ibrox. 

The Rangers Charity Foundation has worked with armed forces charities for many years - donating over £241,000 in cash to date - and was a joint signatory, along with Rangers, to the Armed Forces Covenant in 2016.

It became the first club and club charity in the UK to receive the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme’s Gold Award from the Ministry of Defence in 2019.

The poppy and certificate were given to the charity's chief executive Connal Cochrane by Gordon Michie, Poppyscotland’s head of fundraising and their corporate fundraiser Damian Doran-Timson.

Gordon said: “It was brilliant to meet with Connal and everyone who is connected with the Rangers Charity Foundation. As a charity, they are so supportive of all that we do for our Armed Forces community in Scotland.

“Their generosity and fundraising initiatives allow us to maintain our first-in-class welfare services 365 days of the year.

"I want to thank them once more for their vital support, and I look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts going into this year's Scottish Poppy Appeal and beyond."

Connal added: “We were delighted to receive this recognition from Poppyscotland for our support over the last few years.

“Alongside the club, we are proud to observe Remembrance at Ibrox each year, commemorating those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, and to continue to support Poppyscotland in its vital work with serving personnel and veterans.”
