# Rangers Fans Urged to Hold Minute’s Applause for Young Dad

**Rangers supporters are being asked to mark a moment of togetherness this weekend.**

The family of Kieran Menzies, a young East Kilbride dad who died after a battle with cancer, are urging fans to hold a minute’s applause at Sunday’s Ibrox match in his memory.

According to the [appeal reported by the Evening Times](https://rangersnewsfeed.com/calls-for-minutes-applause-at-rangers-game-in-memory-of-young-dad/), his loved ones hope the Ibrox crowd will come together to honour him during the Gers’ home fixture this weekend.

## The minute’s applause appeal for Kieran Menzies

Tributes of this kind have long been part of the fabric of the Ibrox matchday, with the support coming together to remember those connected to the Rangers family.

Kieran’s family hope that a minute’s applause can offer a fitting, heartfelt send-off in front of a full house.

The appeal comes ahead of a big afternoon on the pitch, with Derek McInnes’s side [chasing a first home league win against Hibernian](https://readrangers.com/2026/08/08/rangers-vs-hibs-mcinnes-first-ibrox-win).

For the family involved, though, the result will matter far less than a shared show of respect from the stands.

Rangers fans are known for their warmth in moments like these, and the hope is that the Ibrox faithful can once again rise to the occasion when the call comes on Sunday.
