The ex-Netherlands internationalist was just 43 when he died and today, on the one-year anniversary of his death, those close to Ricksen have been posting poignant tributes in his memory.

We love you so much our angel . Forever yours Isabella and Veronika šš½šā¤ļøĀ #fernandoricksenĀ #loveyouforeverĀ #loveyoutothemoonandbackĀ #neverforgottenĀ #sleepwellĀ #mystar"
Former Ibrox striker Nacho Novo, who played alongside Ricksen in Glasgow's south side, shared a picture of his old team-mate with the caption: "One year ago today always in my heart brother I love u to bits amigošā¤ļøšā¤ļø"
