A Coatbridge man's put a team together to raise money for charity by walking round all of Scotland's 42 top flight clubs.

The walk will take 15 days and cover 865 miles finishing in his home town of Coatbridge at Albion Rovers ground.

Chris said: 'The reason for this mammoth walk is to raise much need funds for 2 very important and worthy charities. The 2 charities that we will be splitting the money we raise equally for are Ronald McDonald House Glasgow and The Beatson Cancer Centre.

'Both Charities rely hugely of fundraising and donations and during this walk we hope that we can raise enough money to make a small difference to someone who relies on these charities.'

Chris has set up a Facebook page and a fundraising page where people can get involved and donate.
