The Dumfries dad explain his eight-month-old "wee warrior" - who is currently on life support - will donate organs to save the lives of others.

Little Koa

“But before he goes he’s going to donate his organs to save the life of others he’ll be watching over Hampden on Sunday and he wants everyone to bring a balloon. His favourite colour is blue.”

It's understood little Koa was put on life support after contracting meningitis.

A Facebook event encouraging others to join the event was set up by the Ibrox Loyal group.

Speaking to The Scottish Sun, Barry said: “He’s still alive, but he’s technically severely brain-damaged, and every time he twitches or moves an arm the doctors have to do tests to make sure everything will be ok for the organ donation.

Koa has been put on life support

“It’s horrible, we just want it over with now. It just all happened so quickly, and he had meningitis.

“Last week we were on a family holiday, and now we’re having to plan a funeral.

“The support online and everyone getting behind us has been really comforting to us.”

His plea has already received thousands of likes, comments and shares with footy fans declaring their support.
