A Dunfermline care home resident's dream finally came true after he was sent a signed photograph and invited by Rangers Football Club to visit Ibrox stadium.

When Alec Smith told HC-One Scotland’s The Beeches Care Home wellbeing team about his love for Rangers Football Club, they wanted to do something special for him.

This month, Alec was ‘thrilled’ after receiving a signed photo and invitation to visit the Ibrox Football Stadium in Glasgow.

Alec, who turns 72 in June, has lived at the nursing and nursing dementia home since June 2022. Alec and his wife Mary have been together for 50 years and have been married for 21 years.

They have three children - Alec, Scott, and Laura.

Alec has always been a fan of Rangers Football Club and he knew Mary's uncle, George Niven, who used to play for Rangers as a goalkeeper.

Last month, The Beeches Care Home held their regular ‘Goldfish’ activity, where residents are asked to make three wishes. Staff worked to get a signed photo from Rangers to grant Alec’s wish.

Kerry Knox, wellbeing coordinator, wrote to Rangers Football Club to request if they could send him a signed photo. Not only did he get a signed photo, but Alec and his family have been asked along for a tour of the stadium.

Kerry said: “Alec has dementia but recognises his favourite team and loves to watch them on TV and we are so pleased we could help him make this dream come true!”

Alec will be heading to Glasgow on Friday, June 7.
