Christopher Potter, a Rangers fan from Glasgow, tragically lost his life in Istanbul after being struck by two cars while crossing the street. The incident occurred in the Beskitas area just before Rangers’ Europa League match against Fenerbahce. Following his death, Rangers released a heartfelt statement and initiated a fundraiser that quickly exceeded £90,000 for Potter's family. Both teams honored him with black armbands during the match, reflecting the unity and compassion in the football community during this difficult time.
"The immediate thoughts of everyone at the club are with their family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. We are remaining in constant contact with both the Turkish and British authorities over this tragic incident."
"Our heartfelt sympathies and condolences go out to his family, Rangers FC, and their community," Fenerbahce stated, emphasizing the shared sorrow between clubs.
