Hearts players in charity shop takeover for Christmas Jumper Day challenge

Hearts FC players Arnaud Djoum, Jack Hamilton and Michael Smith took over Save the Children’s charity shop on Nicolson St, Edinburgh yesterday in a ‘Christmas Jumper Off’ challenge to raise as money as possible, as well as taking part in the charity’s annual Christmas Jumper Day fundraiser.

The two teams of players, based in two of Save the Children’s Edinburgh shops on Nicholson Street and Dalry Road battled against each other, redesigning the shop window displays, taking selfies with fans and sorting through donations, all whilst wearing their tackiest knits to support their charity partner.

Who won? Save the Children, of course!
