Rangers and Dundee fans are being urged to bring donations for local foodbanks ahead of their fixture at Ibrox on December 9.
Gers Food Banks, in association with Fans Supporting Foodbanks Scotland, hold frequent collections outside Ibrox subway stop.
This time however they have teamed up with the Rangers Charity Foundation and will be collecting outside the Rangers Megastore inside the environs of Ibrox.
Fans of both teams are encouraged to donate if they can, with items commonly in demand at foodbanks including canned goods, pasta, baby food and toiletries.
Our last collection of 2023 will be on the 9th of December. Please note the change of location since we’ll be collecting with the amazing team at @RFC_Charity 🫶 pic.twitter.com/61wbt5I5Qs

Fans Supporting Foodbanks was founded by supporters of Liverpool and Everton in 2015, and the donation drive has taken off in Scotland.
Other supporters to have organised collections include Partick Thistle, Kilmarnock, Dundee United, Dundee, Brechin and Motherwell.
FSFS said: "We want to unite supporters of every single club in Scotland. No matter how big or small the supporter base is there is a place for all supporters of football to get involved in FSFS.
"We want to show how inclusive, powerful and community focused that football fans in Scotland can be when we stand together to tackle issues like poverty.
"This isn’t about party politics or one football club over another, it's about showing the difference that fan activism can make and football fans standing in solidarity with one another to support foodbanks during a cost of living crisis."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
