First Bus has announced that all the profits from their X31 Hampden Express service route will be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee ahead of Thursday's Scotland V Poland Game.
The funds raised will go towards supporting the DEC in its efforts to bring humanitarian aid to civilians whose lives have been impacted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Hampden Park Stadium event was originally scheduled as a match against Ukraine.
The bus operator has pledged to match the amount raised by customers travelling and from the venue with them to the game pound for pound before donating to the DEC.
Duncan Cameron, managing director of First Bus Scotland, said: “The DEC is working round the clock to help and support people in Ukraine, whose lives have been turned upside down by the Russian invasion.
“First Bus will match fund all profits raised from operating the X31 service on Thursday. We would like to encourage people attending the friendly against Poland to choose to travel with us and help to raise as much as we can to support those dealing with extreme challenges and hardship in Ukraine.”
The X31 service will run roughly every 10 minutes from 6:15 pm on Thursday 24 and will start its journey on Union Street, outside O’Neill’s Bar.
