WireImage / Andy Mead Claudio Reyna is mourning the loss of his 13-year-old son Reyna, a former United States international, spent two years in Glasgow from 1999, when his son Jack was born, to 2001. The sad news was confirmed on the club's website on Thursday evening, along with a message of condolence from manager Ally McCoist. "Rangers Football Club tonight learned of the tragic news that Claudio Reyna's son Jack has sadly died after a battle with cancer. "The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Claudio and his family at this extremely difficult time," the statement read. McCoist said: "We have just heard the sad news that Claudio Reyna's son Jack has lost his battle against cancer. "On behalf of everyone at Rangers I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Claudio and his family at this difficult time. "Losing a child at just 13 is a tragedy and puts football into perspective." A few other football clubs have also given there condolences, its a real shame that someone so young should pass away
Sad indeed. As a doting father myself, I can't even begin to imagine the pain and grief this will bring the family. Awful to hear of kids dying of this disease. Tragic. Always thought he was a top quality player and a gentleman of the game. Hopefully our club have sent their condolences too. Wonder how we can do so as fans?
I saw this late last night. What a tragic thing to happen. Like Cestria said I hope the club has already sent condolences but anyone any ideas how we can do so as fans? RIP young Jack, my thoughts and prayers are with your grieving family.
I would like to think the club would do the right thing, as I would hope it would if one of their own employees was to be struck down with serious illness.
