We previously reported that those close to Christopher have begun fundraising, in a bid to raise money for anything needed like helping with funeral costs or supporting his family during this time.
The person behind the GoFundMe wrote: "Hi, as everybody is aware, Christopher potter was tragically killed while away watching his beloved rangers.
"Let’s try and get some money together to help with any costs needed, his funeral, getting him home or just to help his wife and kids. Let’s dig deep.
"All donations will be greatly appreciated."

As well as playing for Scotland's national team, Snodgrass also played for the likes of Aston Villa, West Ham United and Leeds United.
