Match Day Programme in tribute to Phil O'Donnell

Heart of Midlothian Football Club (Hearts) today announced that it is releasing a special edition of this weekend's Matchday Programme as a tribute to Phil O'Donnell.

All profits received from the commemorative edition of the Matchday Programme will go to an appropriate fund for Phil O'Donnell's family, once this has been agreed by Motherwell.


Campbell Ogilvie , Hearts' operations director commented, "We wanted to pay a tribute to Phil O'Donnell, and we felt this would be a good way.


"It seemed entirely the right approach to offer all profits in this way and we'll continue to discuss this with Motherwell in the coming weeks before presenting the funds accordingly."


David Tonner, Commercial manager at Motherwell FC added, "Everyone at Motherwell Football Club appreciates this kind gesture, which is indicative of the fantastic support the club have received from the wider football community. We offer our thanks to Hearts for what we anticipate will be a fitting tribute to Phil."


The programme includes tributes from Campbell Ogilvie, Anatoly Korobochka, Christophe Berra, Calum Elliot, who spent time on loan at Motherwell, as well as a number of other first team players.
