A minute's silence was held prior to kick-off before a applause was then conducted in the second minute to honour Ricksen's former number.

Current Rangers star Sheyi Ojo dedicated his winning goal to the Dutchman as he pointed to the sky in celebration.

Ricksen moved to Rangers in 2000 for a fee of around £3.75 million from AZ Alkmaar.

During his career in Scotland he won two league titles along with two Scottish Cups and three League Cups.
