A former Rangers defender is set to miss his highly anticipated testimonial match with Easter Road club Hibernian after being involved in a serious car crash. The incident occurred just days before the scheduled tribute match, which was meant to celebrate his long-standing contributions to Scottish football.
The ex-Gers player, who has not yet been publicly named, sustained minor facial injuries and was placed in a cervical collar as a precaution. He was transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation but is expected to make a full recovery.
The testimonial was planned in coordination with Hibernian FC, recognizing the defender’s career that included stints with both Rangers and the Edinburgh club. Fans and teammates have expressed their support and well wishes across social media, hoping for a speedy return to health.
Hibernian have confirmed that the testimonial will be postponed until the player is well enough to participate, with ticket holders advised to retain their passes for the rescheduled date.
