Coatbridge comic book legend Mark Millar has backed Albion Rovers with a big money investment following secret talks with the League Two side.
The Kick-Ass creator today revealed an £18,000 influx to his local side that will allow fans to watch games from home.
The Pixellot streaming system is now in place at Cliftonhill after weeks of teasing announcements on social media.
Thanks to the efforts of Millar, along with the SFA, punters will be able to watch games with potential for commentary online.
Punters will be able to pay their ticket price to stream the fixtures starting with Stenhousemuir at home to help the club survive without gate money.
There will be a test event of the new system for the first friendly of pre-season against Dumbarton.
Millar has been a long-term supporter of The Wee Rovers and regularly attends home games.
Millar, who has committed to funding the system for three years, said at Cliftonhill today: "When it came to Covid and the future of Rovers I was a bit nervous, all clubs are really going to struggle.
"I wanted to help with investment. If there are no fans coming through the door you are going to struggle, it doesn't matter how good you are.
"You need money to pay peoples wages, so I felt I had to come up with a plan to help."
Rovers are gearing up for a fresh start under new boss Brian Reid in the bottom tier of the SPFL.
They will face Stenhousemuir for their league opener, with just weeks until they launch their Betfred Cup campaign against Ayr United.
