Fernando Jacob Hubert Hendrika Ricksen (born 27 July 1976) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a right back and right midfielder. He is mostly known for his six-year spell at Rangers. He earned 12 caps for the Netherlands at international level.
Ricksen, formerly of Fortuna Sittard, joined Rangers in 2000 from Dutch team AZ Alkmaar for a transfer fee of £3.75 million.
Ricksen endured a difficult start to his Rangers career, culminating in him being substituted after a torrid 21 minutes against countryman Bobby Petta in a 6–2 defeat to Celtic. On his second trip to Celtic Park six months later, he was sent-off before half-time in another defeat. He had been dropped for the two intervening derbies.
In November 2000 Ricksen became the first player in Scottish football to be banned retrospectively on television evidence. His Kung Fu-style kick on Darren Young had been missed by the referee but caught on camera, leading to a five-game ban. Ricksen subsequently used his personal website to suggest Young required "straightening out."
