A Rangers-daft schoolboy led the team out of Ibrox last Wednesday, joined by Gers captain James Tavernier.
Mason Gordon, 11, blew kisses to the crowd as he ditched his wheelchair to lead to the team. Proud mum Ruth, 49, believes Mason is the first club mascot with the condition and said it was an ‘emotional moment’ when the youngster took to the pitch.
She told the Daily Record : “Mason has had a number of heart operations.

“The last one was in February when his pacemaker needed replacing at Glasgow Children’s Hospital.
“He gets tired really quickly and is in a wheelchair most of the time but he also has ADHD and can be absolutely hyper.
“The whole family are Rangers fans and when Mason was at a Halloween party at Ibrox, we were asked if he’d like to be a mascot at one of the games and I jumped at the chance.”
Ruth, from Kirkcudbright, was also invited into the tunnel before kick-off on Wednesday when Rangers faced Motherwell.
She added: “I watched from the dugout as he came out holding hands with captain James Tavernier and it was a really emotional moment.
“He was over the moon when Broxi Bear brought him back off the pitch.”
After Rangers’ 3-0 win, Mason had his photo taken with the players with Ruth saying it was the ‘experience of a lifetime’ for him.
