A young Glasgow woman who was tragically killed in a car crash will be remembered at a charity football match.

Friends and relatives of Gemma McMonagal have organised a fund-raising game in Maryhill, where the 24-year-old lived and worked.

Gemma and pal Kieran, 21, were both killed when his car skidded off Balmore Road, near to Skirsa Street into water in May.

A match has been organised between Arsenal Boy's Club under 21s and a team of friends and relatives called the Gemma McMonagle select.

It is taking place at Maryhill Junior's park on August 7 with a 12noon kick-off and organisers said two Glasgow celebrities had agreed to support the event.

Ellie Wilson, manager of the One O One convenience store in Maryhill is helping to promote the charity match, which was organised by a PE teacher at John Paul Academy, where Gemma was a pupil.

Both Gemma and her mother Lynn worked in the store.

She said: "I've known them both for about seven years. Lynn is more like a friend.

"It was a terrible shock. They are just plodding on, day by day.

"Gemma had a lot of friends who were boys and they just wanted to do something, to keep her memory alive. They feel it's such a loss.

"It was a loss for the whole of Maryhill.

"They've got a couple of celebrities lined up and there will be an event at night in the clubhouse and a raffle.

"The money will go the family. Lynn has two sons left."

Gemma's 24-year-old boyfriend Jason was also in the crash but escaped serious injury.

More than £6,000 was raised for Gemma's funeral via a GoFundMe.

Tickets for the football match are priced £5 and available on the door.
