The Foo Fighters are being urged to honour a bus driver who died before he could see them perform live in Glasgow.
The American rockers will perform to crowds at Hampden Park tonight (June 17).
And ahead of the show, the parents of Gordon Stirling are hoping Dave Grohl will dedicate a song to him as Gordon 'loved' the band.

We reported that the 23-year-old drove the Glasgow Stagecoach service number 4 from Buchanan Bus Station to Ayr Bus Station.
He was driving a single-decker on the A77 near Galston when it collided with a white Transit van on August 14, 2023.
He died in hospital several days later.
Tonight, Gordon’s father is attending the show with his son’s friends in his place and hopes to honour him, STV reports.
He said: “It would mean a lot if they saw about Gordon, and dedicated My Hero to him during the show.
“We’ve tried getting in touch with management and the venue but haven’t been able to get a response."

My Hero was played at Gordon's funeral and was said to be one of his favourite songs.
“He loved them. I’d taken him to concerts before and we’ve seen the Foo Fighters a few times,” his father added.
“It would mean a lot to the family if they saw it and dedicated to him. We’re just broken after losing him.”
