After the game, Harris wrote to the Club and said: “Thank you so much for inviting me to Easter Road. I love the hospitality tickets and meeting everyone. Meeting Lewis Stevenson and Martin Boyle was out of this world. The signed Hibs strip was spectacular and is going on my bedroom wall. I’m looking forward to many more visits to Easter Road.”

“I think he’s a real inspiration for everyone and worked incredibly hard to make a difference for those who needed it the most.”
