Members of the Lewis & Harris RSC, led by local Rangers legend Ronnie MacKinnon, gathered at the famous Ibrox Stadium on the morning of Saturday 18th March for the Rangers vs Hamilton league tie. They were welcomed into the hospitality suite by Rangers Striker & LHRSC Player of the Year for 2017, Kenny Miller and RFC Directors Paul Murray, John Gilligan & Stewart Robertson.

Once all 120 supporters had settled into The Ibrox Suite, members Peter Dickie & Eddie Mackenzie presented Kenny Miller with his Player of the Year Award. The Scottish Striker then thanked the group for his award and for their continued support of the team. He then stopped for photos with members before heading off to the dressing room to prepare for the match. Rangers FC Managing Directors Stewart Robertson also said a few words thanking the group for their incredible efforts to follow the team and wished them all the best for the day.
