More than £13,000 has been raised for the family of a teenage Rangers supporter who passed away in Lisbon during the team’s Europa League match against Benfica.
On March 7, Thomas McAllister, sometimes known as Tam, fell off a chair in a hotel and was pronounced dead. The 25-year-old had gone to the Portuguese city with friends in order to cheer on his favourite football team, Ibrox.The young Drumchapel father of two had taken social media photos with friends just hours before the disaster. He seemed to be in a good mood before his team played to a 2-2 tie.Since then, close friend Andrew Johnston has organised a fundraising for Tam’s family and expressed gratitude to well-wishers for their kind contributions. Within a day, more than £13,000 was raised.
