Rangers boss Steven Gerrard in touching tribute as he answers Josh Windass' request to honour tragic footballer

Rangers have donated a shirt in memory of Jordan Sinnott after the non-league football player was killed.

The 25-year-old, on loan at Matlock Town, died in hospital after being attacked in Retford on Saturday morning.

In wake of the tragedy, 'Shirts for Jordan' was set up with clubs donating kits with 'Sinnott, 25' on the back that will be at his funeral and then passed onto Sport Relief.

The appeal read: "Hi everyone, Our dear friend Jordan Sinnott was attacked and died in hospital this past weekend.

"And in his memory, we are getting in contact with as many football clubs as we can to ask if a shirt could donated with 'Sinnott 25' on the back for his funeral and then all the shirts will be donated to Sport Relief in his honour.

"If there's anything, any other clubs can donate to help, that would be amazing. Thank you."

Former Ibrox midfielder Josh Windass is one of the players leading the appeal with Manchester United star Harry Maguire, Burnley's James Tarkowski and Aaron Mooy from Brighton all getting involved.

And Rangers also pledged their support with boss Steven Gerrard posing with the home shirt.

Windass posted the picture on Twitter, saying: "Thank you so much Rangers."
