Brechin City fans have been urged to join the great Glebe Park bus cavalcade for the Highland League title shoot-out with Buckie Thistle.
City are expected to have seven buses – with the promise of more if required – setting off from their home ground at 11am on Saturday for the winner-takes-all clash at Buckie.
Shop windows throughout Brechin are being dressed up in support of their side.
Just a point separates City and Buckie, with Brechin one win away from the clinching the Highland League silverware.
They could be backed by 750 fans with the Victoria Park crowd expected to reach 2,000 for the eagerly-anticipated encounter.

“We need to deliver performances on the pitch.
“But we also need to show at the end of games that we are grateful.
“Our fans spend a lot of time and money jumping in cars or onto buses to travel the country to support us.

“There will be a big Buckie support too. It should be a fantastic spectacle for the Highland League.
“Hopefully we can make it an exciting occasion for us fans.”
