A fundraiser for a tragic Paisley schoolboy has surpassed £14,000 in donations.
Connor Gray, 14, passed away on November 26, leading to an outpouring of support from locals.
The teenager was a pupil at Paisley Grammar School and played football for St Peters 2011s.
The crowdfunder was launched by the club to help Connor's family towards a memorial, charitable donation, or whatever they believe is appropriate.
The football team wrote on the fundraiser: "A brave and wonderful young man who has sadly gone but will never be forgotten."

It comes after the club also paid tribute to Connor last month.
Taking to Facebook, they wrote: "This week, our footballing family have lost an absolutely incredible young man. Connor was one of the kindest and happiest players this club has ever had come through its ranks and we are truly devastated by his passing.
"We have sent our deepest condolences to his loving and caring family, and have offered assistance in any way possible.
"We would ask everyone to be respectful in giving them all the time and space they need during this difficult time.
"A special thanks also goes out to the wider footballing community who have been supportive beyond compare.
"At a time like this, it really does give us a lift knowing you are with us.
"Lastly a word for Connor… you will never be forgotten, you will live on in our hearts forever and we know you will always be with us when we run out onto the park…
"Forever Our No.7."
The club also laid Connor's shirt on the halfway line and held a minute's silence to honour him during a game last week. Connor's family was in attendance.
Posting a video of the tribute on Facebook, St Peters FC wrote: "Connor was cherished by all at St Peters, and his untimely departure has left a deep void in the hearts of the entire St Peters family.
"Fly high, young man. Your radiant smile will forever be remembered by everyone at the club."
