Celtic and Hearts players are going to pay tribute to young fan Devin Gordon ahead of their match at Tynecastle tonight.
The 13-year-old, a passionate Hearts supporter, lost his life last week.
His mum, Jen, is a member of staff at the Edinburgh club.
Players will warm up in FC United to Prevent Suicide jerseys.
Fans are also going to hold a round of applause, in the 13th minute of the match.
Robbie Neilson, Heart of Midlothian FC Manager, said: “We were all shocked and saddened to learn the devastating news about young Devin. Our thoughts are very much with his mum Jen, family and friends.
“We can all get better at talking and listening to each other. If you’re experiencing difficulties or know of someone who you believe may be, please reach out and speak. One small conversation can make a huge difference to someone’s life.”
Celtic Manager Ange Postecoglou added: “The loss of Devin at such a young age in these circumstances is an absolute tragedy and the sincere thoughts and prayers of everyone at the Club are with Devin’s mum Jen and the wider family.
“Too often we are seeing people of all ages lost to suicide and while we understand that we all face very different moments and challenges in our lives we just want to encourage all people to think about having that conversation and using that support which can make such a difference.”
