A well-known face in Scottish football dropped into Kelty Hearts to receive a donation of kit for a charity drive.
Marvin Andrews, who turned out for clubs including Raith Rovers, Livingston and Rangers during his career, visited New Central Park as part of an initiative that will see old strips given a new lease of life abroad.
The former Trinidad and Tobago international has been working with clubs across the country to redistribute unwanted and surplus football wear to communities, and players, in need around the world.
Projects in Andrews' homeland and Nigeria have already benefited, and the kits contributed by the Maroon Machine are set to be taken to Uganda.

He was helped out at New Central Park by a familiar face, in club kitman Calum Wood, who was at Clyde when the former defender had a spell playing for them.
Andrews, who won 101 caps for his country, left with several boxes of old stock kit, and was grateful for the club's support.
"It's great to be able to give these kits a new life and get them to people who can really benefit from them," he told Kelty's website.
"Football is a global game, and something as simple as a football shirt can mean a lot to someone.
"I've been fortunate to work with a number of Scottish clubs to make this happen, and I'm really grateful to Kelty Hearts for getting involved and helping us send more kit to Uganda."
Andrews has been working alongside Chris Jewell, a trustee with Inverclyde Christian Initiative, who works with and supports the Ugandan community, to co-ordinate the collection and distribution of the kits.
The club added: "For Kelty Hearts, the donation is another small example of how football can extend far beyond the pitch and make a positive difference in communities around the world.
"We'd like to thank Marvin, Chris and everyone involved in making the latest donation possible, and wish them all the best with the shipment to Uganda."
