Suzie Byer the senior charge nurse said: “Everyone at Tayside Children’s Hospital loves it when the Dundee FC team comes in to visit us, especially at this time of year.

“Nobody likes being in hospital during the festive period but it can be especially hard for children and their families.

“Visits like this really help lift their spirits and make them feel special during what can be a very difficult time.

“The players are great with the children and always manage to make them smile.

“It’s also nice that they bring along presents for them to give them an early Christmas surprise.

“On behalf of all the patients and staff, I would like to thank the players and staff for taking the time to come and visit us and to brighten up our day.”
