Despite his young age, Iain has already undergone 20 surgeries in his short life, the first at only 48 hours old, and spent the first 150 days of his life in hospital.
An inspiring Bonhill youngster received a standing ovation at Ibrox, after being named Rangers’ Heart Hero.
Iain, accompanied by mum Nicola and Rangers star Connor Goldson, took to the pitch at half-time in the Gers’ 5-2 victory against Dundee last week. “When he was on the pitch the reaction from the crowd was amazing. Everyone stood up and gave him a massive cheer. He got a standing ovation from the full stadium.
“He was all excited when we picked him up from school and got him home and changed. He was lucky because we had family members all round the stadium in different areas, and lots of friends all around the ground. It was a special experience.” “Connor was very much looking forward to meeting Iain. You could tell he was in awe of Iain as much as Iain was in awe of Connor as one of his footballing heroes.
