A dad, whose son is part of the team, said the players are desperate to represent their country.
A fundraiser has been launched to help get the Scotland men's national deaf team to the European championships this summer. It is the first time the team has made the competition, but the squad needs £40,000 to pay for the trip to Turkey. Glasgow dad James Murphy, whose son Nathan is part of the team, said the players are desperate to represent their country.
We are desperate to go. We will do anything we can - we are not going to back out of this. 'It would be really nice to get the help from the public. We've got faith.' He praised all those who have donated so far and is hopeful businesses will give their backing. Mr Murphy said the Scottish Football Association has not provided any funding but it is understood it will loan shirts for the team to play in. The SFA has been contacted for comment.
