Rangers fans brand Aberdeen fan forum members “dregs of society” over vile comments about ex-Gers ace Fernando Ricksen
Fernando Ricksen, who starred for the blue half of the Old Firm between 2000 and 2006, went public with his illness in 2013
RANGERS fans have slammed an Aberdeen forum after members made vile comments about ex-Gers star Fernando Ricksen.
Supporters group Club 1872 branded the Dons followers as 'dregs of society' for making sick gags about the Ibrox hero's on-going battle with Motor Neuron Disease.
During a discussion about the vacant Rangers manager's position a fan claimed the ex-Holland international would "have trouble with the famous marble staircase"
Another said: "What's black and sits at the top of the stairs? Ricksen after a house fire."
One supporter asked: "Why can Ricksen only do one liners? Because he can't stand up."
And another said: "What do you call Ricksen in the bath? Vegetable soup."
Club 1872, a supporters group for the Ibrox club, hit out, saying: “We were disgusted when we were made aware of these sickening comments about Fernando.
"His illness is something that should transcend football rivalry and supporters of a number of clubs in Scotland have been very kind to him and his family through what has been a very difficult time for them.
"The Aberdeen supporters who made these comments should be ashamed of themselves - they are the dregs of society.
"This is now a matter for the police and Aberdeen Football Club and we hope appropriate action will be taken against all those involved.
"Club 1872 would once again like to reiterate our support and admiration for Fernando and his family as they battle against a horrible illness."
