Players and staff of Ayr United rallied support on and off the park in 2016.

They took time out of their busy schedule to help promote another team — the organisers of Ayrshire Hospice Fit Feb appeal.

Joined by gaffer Ian McCall, they helped launch the campaign which raised more than £6,000 in 2015 by urging people to sign up to February’s fundraising fitness campaign.

Run by the hospice, the people of Ayrshire were encouraged to get fit by walking, swimming, running, cycling or playing a favourite sport to help raise funds for the hospice through sponsorship.
