Jamie leaves behind wife Sam and two young children, and his passing is a reminder of the fragility of life and the danger of mental health issues. The social media campaign has also sought to raise awareness of PTSD and the impact is has on soldiers.
The tribute will mean a huge deal to Jamie’s young family and fans are being encouraged to stand up and join in to this fitting compliment to a popular young man.
Rangers fans will be hoping the players produce a fitting tribute on the field also on what will be an emotional night south of the River Clyde.
