Neil Lennon and Ally McCoist and, are backing a campaign aimed at helping people affected by hunger, war, poverty and disease in some of the world's poorest countries.
The Celtic and Rangers managers are backing the Wee Box, Big Change lent appeal run by the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (Sciaf).
It got off to a flying start last week with the help of singer Susan Boyle and Paralympic gold-medallist rower David Smith.
The campaign, which is also supported by actor Robert Carlyle and broadcaster Kaye Adams, raised more than £830,000 for Sciaf's work last year.
Lennon said: "People often don't realise what a difference they can make by taking simple actions.
"With Sciaf in lent we can take action against poverty by giving up something like chocolate or crisps and popping our spare change in a wee box.
"This simple act can help people in developing countries across the world to build a better future for themselves."
McCoist, who will again fast for 24 hours, added: "When I back the campaign I know that I'm making a real difference to people living in extreme poverty across the world.
"Sciaf works alongside people in some of the world's poorest communities, so they can make a brighter future for themselves."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
