Nov 6 2009 by Clair Fullarton, Kilmarnock Standard

KILLIE players will be sporting red poppies at Rugby Park on Saturday to help mark Remembrance Day.

They will be kitted out with special one-off match shirts, with poppies emblazoned on them, for their game against Dundee United.

The club is giving its support to help publicise the Scottish Poppy Appeal which raises vital funds for war veterans and their families.

Ian McGregor, chief executive of Poppyscotland: “We are proud to be working with all 12 SPL clubs to raise awareness and I hope that Killie fans will support the Scottish Poppy Appeal to ensure that veterans and their families across Scotland receive the help they deserve.”
