A Hampden Park fundraiser held in honour of a former Scottish rugby star has raised more than £8000.
Held in aid of Siobhan’s Legacy of Love, the collection took place during the 1872 Cup rugby match in December, in memory of Siobhan Cattigan, a former Scotland international rugby player who earned 19 caps for her country.
The money was raised through bucket collections around the stadium, as well as sales of limited edition matchday programmes and Glasgow Warriors flags.
Donations were also made via QR codes displayed on screens, in the programme and in hospitality areas.
Kenny Brown, interim managing director of Glasgow Warriors, said: "Once again, our supporters showed just how special this club is.
"To raise more than £8000 for Siobhan’s Legacy of Love at Hampden is an incredible achievement and something everyone connected with Glasgow Warriors can be immensely proud of.
"The generosity shown on the day is a fitting tribute to Siobhan’s memory, and these funds will make a real difference to children and families supported by the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
"I’d like to thank every supporter who donated, purchased a programme or flag, and the volunteers who gave up their time to make the collection such a success."
The 2025 fundraiser topped the £7500 raised for Siobhan’s Legacy of Love during a similar collection in 2024.
