The eighth edition of the annual convention took place across the weekend with Executive Director, Fraser Thornton attending alongside Fan Engagement Executive, Calvin Stroyan and Club Ambassador and Hall of Famer Ian Durrant.
They were also joined by former Rangers players Marvin Andrews, Dave McPherson, John MacDonald, Marco Negri and Scott Nisbet.
At the Gala Dinner, Fraser Thornton delivered a club update to attendees, outlining Rangers’ commitment to strengthening its engagement with supporters based internationally, as well as those based in the UK.
The Q&A session provided supporters with the opportunity to raise a range of topics and receive feedback directly from a Rangers board representative, while also allowing those in attendance to hear more about the club’s ongoing work with its worldwide supporter network.
A meeting was also held between members of the ERSA Board and club representatives during the convention, with discussions focused on how Rangers can continue to strengthen its relationship with supporters overseas. This included consideration of future official membership offerings, alongside wider opportunities to engage with individual supporters, Rangers Supporters Clubs (RSCs) and ERSA.
Executive Director Fraser Thornton said: “It was a pleasure to join ERSA and supporters in Lanzarote, and I would like to thank everyone involved for their warm welcome and the work that went into organising the convention.
“Our supporters across Europe and beyond are an important part of the Rangers family. Events like this provide a valuable opportunity to hear directly from them, understand their experiences, and discuss how we can strengthen those connections.
“We appreciate the passion and commitment of ERSA and its members and look forward to continuing to work together to ensure supporters overseas and in the UK feel connected to the club.”
Rangers wishes ERSA and its members all the very best for the remainder of the season and looks forward to the next convention in 2027, with the location and further details to be announced in due course.
