The wife of late Rangers fan Christopher Potter has thanked Ibrox supporters for their tributes after the family was invited to the Europa League victory over Fenerbahce.
Holly Potter and Christopher's kids Jak, Millie and Teddy were special guests at last night's match as Barry Ferguson's men defeated the Turkish giants on penalties.
A minute's applause was held near the end of the first half for the father of three who was tragically killed following a road traffic accident in Istanbul last week.

In the 40th minute of the game, fans paid tribute to the Dennistoun man, with a banner draped in the Copland Stand that read: "Rest Easy Christopher Potter".
After the match, Christopher's youngest son Teddy was also pictured with Rangers' penalty hero Jack Butland.

She said: “I was totally overwhelmed at the outpouring of emotion on the 40th minute.
“The Rangers family really came together, and I know Christopher would have been chuffed to bits to see how they paid their respects.
"Credit to the Fenerbahce fans for joining in too. I have to thank all the players from the bottom of my heart.
"After the game Teddy got to go down pitchside, and he got to meet his Rangers hero Jack Butland and get a photo.
“Jack also gave him his top from last night, and all the players signed it.
“The message on it said: ‘That was for you Teddy’."

“Allan McGregor also gave Teddy a pair of signed goalie gloves.
“A huge thank you to everyone at Rangers, not just the players, but all the staff who were so kind and respectful.
“Christopher would have been so proud of Teddy, and Jak and Millie, last night.
“Obviously, the pain we are all feeling at the moment is indescribable, but there is some comfort knowing how well loved and well-thought of Christopher was.”
A GoFundMe page was set up to support Christopher's family, with almost £180,000 raised at the time of writing.
Barry Ferguson and James Tavernier are among the Rangers heroes to donate to the GoFundMe page.
The interim-Light Blues boss donated £1000 and wrote on the page: “Condolences from the Ferguson family.”
