The night is being held to raise funds for the Fernando Ricksen Foundation, which aims to help research into motor neurone disease.

Ricksen’s biographer Vincent De Vries shared the event on Twitter earlier this week, with tickets available now.

Now fans have rallied ahead of the evening.

The ex-Ibrox captain was back at the home of his former club in November.

He appeared at a game between the Gers and Hamilton and was greeted by a standing ovation from supporters.

And other guests are set to be announced alongside the ex-Dutch international.

The former Rangers star made an appearance at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion before Sittard’s match against Jong Ajax.

And he was honoured as the Eredivisie outfit unveiled a bronze statue outside the ground.

The moment came hours after Ricksen attended a candlelit church service after recently admitting his condition had worsened.
