“We would rather not reveal the exact amount, but it is a welcome contribution that will help sustain the club. The money will go towards player expenses, running costs and other essential needs.
“In his email reply, he said he hoped the contribution would encourage more people to support us financially. We are incredibly thankful and sincerely hope his generosity motivates others to assist the club.”
Buckie Thistle attracted widespread attention at the beginning of 2024 when they faced Celtic in the Scottish Cup and suffered a 5-0 defeat in Glasgow.
The Highland Jags have faced financial difficulties since long-serving president Garry Farquhar left his position earlier this year because of health concerns.
His son Daniel said: “Our monthly running expenses are approximately £20,000 and currently exceed the club’s income by a considerable margin. We are therefore reviewing our spending and looking for ways to reduce costs.
“Over the past five or six weeks, we have received donations totalling roughly £55,000, which is an extraordinary level of support.”
