It has been four years to the day since former Rangers midfielder and Honduras international Arnold Peralta was tragically shot to death.
The defensive midfielder was gunned down in his hometown of La Ceiba only nine months after leaving Ibrox for reasons which remain shrouded in mystery.
The shooting took place in the car park of a shopping centre and the motive remains unclear.
Peralta had previously been outspoken about violence in his home country and the police ruled out a robbery, given Peralta had no belongings taken from him.
Rangers held a minute of silence for their former midfielder at the tie with Morton only two days after his shooting.
The support that the Rangers fans have shown to Peralta’s family and to his young widow Vanessa Oliva has been sensational and is clearly well appreciated.
Today, four years on from when Peralta lost his life in his home country, Rangers fans took to Twitter to remember the midfielder.

Arnold Peralta was at Rangers between 2013 and 2015, playing 31 times in total and scoring once.
That strike came against Stranraer in a 3-0 win back in April 2014.
Earning promotion to the Scottish Championship, going unbeaten in League One with Rangers in the process, stands as the biggest achievement of the midfielder’s tenure.
His stay at Ibrox might’ve been brief, but fans are determined to remember the midfielder, not forgetting the famous mantra; once a Ranger, always a Ranger.
