A GoFundMe has been launched to support the family of Rangers fan Christopher Potter, who died in Istanbul this week.
Christopher travelled to Turkey with thousands of Gers fans to watch the club's Europa League clash against Fenerbahce, which is set to take place tonight.
However, Christopher was tragically killed in Turkey following a road traffic incident.
