Voting has opened for the Scottish Premier League’s fundraising weekend, which will see one charity benefit from collections at six football games.

Supporters will choose a cause to receive donations collected at matches during the Weatherseal Charity Weekend, which takes place on 8 and 9 December.

The shortlisted nominees are Shelter Scotland, Scottish Women’s Aid, Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS), Samaritans Scotland and Alzheimer Scotland’s football memories project.

SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “This is a great opportunity for supporters to have their say in this new project.”

Tony Reilly, managing director of Weatherseal, added: “This has been a season about supporters and I am sure they will help raise as much as possible for the chosen charity.”
