The heartbroken wife of Fernando Ricksen has launched a clothing line to "keep his spirits alive".
Veronika Ricksen, who was often found by the bedside of the Rangers legend as he battled Motor Neurone Disease (MND) at St Andrew's Hospice, made the announcement on social media.
She has teamed up with Rangers clothing brand The Bearsden to release a limited collection of items.
Fans of the tragic Dutchman can get their hands on t-shirts, hoodies and onesies all in tribute to the 43-year-old.

The t-shirts include a badge, showing Ricksen in his footballing years with the phrase "Fernando, Simply the Best' on the front.
And on the back, 'Ricksen 2' is printed.
The tops show a striking similarity to those worn by the likes of Nacho Novo and Michael Mols during the footballer's funeral.
In a touching plea, Veronika wrote on Instagram: "Hi guys, I wanted to keep spirits of my husband alive.
