I'm sure many of you recall the incident that happened at the Semi Final last season that involved John McGall. For those that dont, prior to the game a bus collided with a road sign which then fell into Johns head, causing massive life changing injuries.
We set up a fund raising page which raised more than £3000 to help John and his family.

Ive been in regular contact with John and hes asked me to pass forward his heart felt thanks to everyone that contributed to the fund and everyone who wished him well.
The injuries were life threatening and massively life changing. But the good news is that John continues to fight for recovery daily. Recently he invited by the club to attend the St Johnstone game - this was his first game back since the incident. He also took the massive step last night in returning to his season ticket seat. I cant imagine how difficult that would have been, so fair play to him. And he picked a good night.
The purpose of the post was to pass John's eternal thanks to all Bears.
We all came together at a time of need for a fellow bear (which really isnt unexpected) and its good to see things are improving for him.
It would be wrong of me not to thank the club, particularly Stewart Robertson, @Greg Marshall and Mark Hateley for being so supportive of John, staying in contact with him, inviting him to Ibrox at the weekend as well as visiting him at the hospital.
We truly are The People!
Here are a few pics of John's trip at the weekend.
