A Rangers supporter has tragically passed away in Portugal ahead of the club’s Europa League fixture against FC Porto, casting a sombre mood over what was meant to be a gathering of travelling fans in the city. The supporter, who has not been publicly named, is understood to have died overnight from natural causes while in Porto. Rangers FC confirmed the heartbreaking news in an official statement, expressing deep sadness at the loss and offering condolences to those affected. A club spokesperson said everyone at Rangers was “extremely saddened” to learn of the supporter’s passing and confirmed that the club is in contact with both Portuguese and British authorities as they assist the individual’s family and friends during an incredibly difficult time. The news has been met with an outpouring of grief from supporters, with tributes flooding social media throughout the day. Many described the fan as a kind, gentle character who lived and breathed the club, highlighting the strong sense of community that exists among Rangers supporters at home and abroad.

Messages of remembrance and solidarity have continued to pour in, reflecting the deep bonds formed through shared support of the club. Rangers fans had travelled in large numbers to Portugal ahead of the Europa League clash with FC Porto, the final match of the club’s European campaign this season.

On the pitch, Rangers have already been eliminated from the league phase of the UEFA Europa League, despite securing their first win of the campaign against Ludogorets last week. The match in Porto was set to be an opportunity to finish the European journey with pride, but events off the field have overshadowed footballing matters. As supporters gather in Porto, many will do so with heavy hearts, united in grief and remembrance, honouring a fellow fan whose passion for Rangers will not be forgotten.
Aberdeen FC have completed the signing of Nigerian international Afeez Aremu on a permanent transfer from German side 1. FC Kaiserslautern. The 26-year-old defensive midfielder has agreed a deal that will keep him at Pittodrie until 2028, subject to visa formalities and international clearance. Aremu becomes the Dons’ fifth signing of the January transfer window, following the arrivals of Lyall Cameron, Liam Morrison, Toyosi Olusanya and Per Kristian Bråtveit, as the club continues to strengthen its squad for the second half of the season. Known for his physical presence and defensive strength, Aremu was a player Aberdeen Sporting Director Lutz Pfannenstiel was eager to secure this month. “Afeez is going to bring a real physical edge to the squad, something which I think we have been looking for,” said Pfannenstiel. “He’s strong, robust and comes with good experience in a competitive environment in Germany. He is also tactically aware, so combined with all his athletic attributes, we believe he can adapt well to the intensity of the Scottish game and make a real impact.” After arriving in the Granite City to complete his move, Aremu expressed his excitement at starting a new chapter in Scotland. “I’m excited to be here. I’ve been made to feel really welcome, and I can’t wait to get started,” he said. “I like new challenges, and I think Aberdeen offers that. For me, I am growing and taking the next step in my career, so it’s a huge move. “I’m an aggressive player, but I have other attributes to my game. There is a lot to play for this season and a chance to move forward. I want to strengthen the team and help them achieve good things. “I’m ready to give everything every time I put the shirt on, and I’m really looking forward to playing in front of the fans.” Aremu’s arrival adds further steel and depth to Aberdeen’s midfield as the Dons push on during the remainder of the campaign.
