An avid Rangers fan has embarked on a mammoth challenge to raise money for charity.
David Smith will be running a total of 200 miles over six days on route to his team’s away match at Ross County in aid of the Rangers Charity Foundation.
The challenge began on Monday at Hummel Training Centre where David was given a supportive send-off from Rangers FC midfielder, Ryan Kent.
The football fan has previously taken on two running challenges for charity, including a 149-mile run to Pittodrie in 2019, but this is set to be his biggest challenge to date.
Speaking before his departure, Smith said: “I’m going to be averaging 30 miles per day, with a final distance of 15 miles on the morning of the Ross County game.
“After the success of my run to Aberdeen last season, I just thought I fancied another away game but wanted somewhere event further.
“I support the Rangers Charity Foundation because it helps so many charities and initiatives, so you’re helping lots of people.
“Please support the challenge. If we can show that we really are the people, and smash the target, it would be amazing. I’ll do my best to smash the Dingwall run!”
David has set himself a fundraising target of £10,000 and will aim to arrive at Dingwall on Sunday March 8, ahead of Rangers FC’s fixture against Ross County.
Rangers Charity Foundation Director, Connal Cochrane, said: “David is an incredible supporter of ours and we are always blown away by how he continues to grow his challenges each season.
“The Dingwall run is going to push his limits further than ever and we hope that the football community and beyond will join us in supporting him on his journey. Every penny raised will make a huge difference to our work across Scotland and around the world.”
