Peterhead midfielder Gary Fraser has united football across the United Kingdom in a bid to fund a knee operation for the League One player.

West Ham chairman David Sullivan has personally pledged £2500 to the costs of the Blue Toon player going private – as the covid pandemic pressure on the NHS means that an operation date has yet to be set for the 26-year-old.

Kevin Nisbet s shirt from his second Scotland appearance – and first Scotland goal – will also be used to raise funds for his former Partick Thistle team-mate and the League One club’s squad plan to ascend Ben Lomond this weekend to raise funds for the surgery.
