Hearts fans are set to pay tribute to youngster Rudi Abbott, who tragically passed away last week following a brave battle with cancer.
The eight-year-old, who was a huge fan of the club, was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour, a pineoblastoma, in 2020, and had undergone three years of treatment.
However, in a devastating announcement on Friday January 6, Rudi's family confirmed that the young boy had passed away at home surrounded by his loved ones, reports Edinburgh Live.
Described as a "wee warrior", tributes have poured in for Rudi from across the local community, with many having previously backed the 'Rally for Rudi' campaign, which saw over £110,000 raised to fund his treatment in the US.
Having been Hearts-daft his whole life, supporters recently announced they were planning to pay their respects to Rudi at the club's fixture against St Mirren on Friday January 13.
A minute's applause has been organised for the eighth minute of the game, which will be played at Tynecastle, to honour the boy.
Responding to the plans, Rudi's family praised the planned tribute on social media, saying it was a "great idea", and that "Rudi will be well chuffed." The game will kick off at 7.45pm.
Speaking online, Rudi's family also confirmed that a small private funeral will be taking place next week, and urged anyone who wishes to to make a donation to The Brain Tumour Charity.
