Sports stars Tyson Fury and Kieran Tierney have sent messages of support to a Glasgow teenager who is suffering from an incurable brain tumour.
Daniel Caplan, suffers from DMG (Diffuse Midline Glioma), is hosting a charity football fundraising match this weekend and the superstars have lent their support.
The world boxing champion and Arsenal star have thrown their weight behind the teen who has been given the heartbreaking news that he is suffering from an incurable tumour.
There is no known cure but the charity Funding Neuro hope to begin trials on treatments with 18 children who have been diagnosed with DMG later this year.
Tyson Fury sent a video message saying: “Hi, this is Tyson Fury.
“This is a message for Daniel Caplan.
“Keep fighting the fight buddy.
“Keep strong and stay safe.
“For everybody joining the charity match have a fantastic day and God bless you all.”
The Just Giving Fund has already raised more than £95,000 of the £250,000 that is looking to be raised to help fund the trials.
Friends and family have organised a charity “Doing it for Daniel’ football match at Hamilton Accies stadium on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off.
It is a £5 pay-per-view event with all monies going to the Just Giving page.
Former Celtic star Tierney has urged people to get behind the game.
He said: “Hi, Daniel Caplan, it is Kieran Tierney here.
“I just want to say you are in my hopes and prayers and I hope you are staying strong and positive always.
“Keep up the good fight and for the charity match that is going ahead this week, it is for a great cause and I hope everyone taking part has a great day.
“Take care.”
