Celtic fans are being given the chance to win a signed print of Lisbon Lions legend Billy McNeill.
Eleven items of football memorabilia are being auctioned to raise charity cash including shirts signed by Lionel Messi, Henrik Larrson, Wayne Rooney and Rangers boss Steven Gerrard.
All money raised will go to the new Billy McNeill Fund, which was launched two years ago by the charity Battle Against Dementia, to raise funds for former footballers affected by the disease.
The Celtic legend died in April 2019 after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. A groundbreaking study by Glasgow University found former footballers were five times at risk of developing Alzheimer's and had a three-fold risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
The study prompted the SFA to ban children under 12 heading footballs.
A major celebrity-backed fundraising event was due to be held last year at Mar Hall but was derailed by the pandemic.
Battle against Dementia has teamed up with PM Auctions to try to plug the gap in donations with a unique online fundraising opportunity.
Everyone who registers for the online auction will also go into a prize draw and be in with the chance of winning a signed print of Billy McNeill.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
