Football fans across Scotland have donated more than £1 million to help keep their local clubs afloat since the coronavirus lockdown began.

Since mid-March clubs have not been able to rely on gate receipts, TV money and corporate sponsors as they once did.

Working with the Scottish Football Supporter’s Association, we’ve found fans up and down the country have put their hands in their pockets to plug some of the gaps.

Clyde 1 has also heard how fans refused refunds on the unspent part of their season tickets, raised cash through online donations, and even washed cars to drum up cash for their clubs.

Share your stories of fans going above and beyond on social media using the hashtag #MoreThanJustAGame.
