Rangers Youth Development Company Director Colin Stewart has launched an urgent appeal to the club’s fans to support ex-player David Hagen.

The former Ibrox midfielder suffers from Motor Neurone Disease with Colin announcing that his condition has “deteriorated” and he can longer speak or move his head.

Naturally, the costs involved with the treatment of MND can be incredibly large and Colin – who makes the appeal on behalf of the Rangers Former Players Charity Trust – has asked fans to dig deep for the former player.

The trust is only looking for £700 to donate £5000 to help with the costs of David’s care and if the Ibrox club’s fans can club together it’d make a huge difference to his family.

It’s not the first time the Ibrox side’s support have come together to support David, with a charity match at his old club Falkirk hosted to raise money for his care back in October.

A Rangers Development side took on a Falkirk XI as both clubs came together to support the ex-player’s cause.

Rangers fans are no strangers to the tragic impact of Motor Neurone Disease, with fans turning out in their droves to pay tribute to former captain Fernando Ricksen, who passed away after a six-year battle with the illness in September.
