RANGERS Charity Foundation manager Conal Cochrane has thanked fans for their backing during the club's difficult year.

Cochrane was speaking as Mark Hateley presented a cheque for £35,000 towards the Prince and Princess of Wales Brick By Brick Appeal, writes Matthew Lindsay.

He said: "The foundation works tirelessly to raise funds for our key charity partners and the hospice is our Glasgow partner.

"The fans have been very enthusiastic in their support of our events. It has been a challenging time for the club but the charitable spirit of the fans has been undiminished.

"It has always been a very charitable club. The fans and the Rangers Charity Foundation continue to be a force for good."
