This is the devastating moment Michael Mols learns his great friend Fernando Ricksen has passed away.
The Dutchman had just touched down at Glasgow Airport ahead of Thursday night's Europa League game between Rangers and Feyenoord when he was told the heartbreaking news.
And Mols was visibly upset as he discovered his old friend had died earlier this morning.
The pair spent four years together at Ibrox and became close off the park with Mols a regular visitor the hospice that Ricksen was being care for in.
The 48-year-old raised money for Motor Neurone Disease charities last week when he took part in the Amsterdam City Swim.
Earlier this year he visited Ricksen in the hospice alongside Arthur Numan and Giovanni Van Bronckhorst in what was his final time seeing the 43-year-old.
He posted on social media to say: "Arthur, Gio and I, visited our former teammate Fernando Ricksen who suffers from the horrible disease MND!
"What a fighter and inspiration he is, one word, RESPECT! for him.
"And because of him I’m gonna swim the @amsterdamcityswim, the 8th of September to raise money and awareness for the disease and hopefully they find a cure asap!"
