The free to attend event – which kicks off at 2pm at Grangemouth Stadium, in Kersiebank Avenue, on Saturday – aims to raise cash for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity and for Down's Syndrome Scotland.
A long-running event which began in the 1990s, the Forth Ports charity match has raised thousands of pounds for a variety of good causes over the years, including almost £10,000 last year.
