And the story -
Sproule, 36, took over as boss of the Intermediate League side two months ago and is trying to use his contacts in the game to raise cash and awareness of the club's situation.
As well as Brown , the 36-year-old ex-Northern Ireland winger is hoping former Rangers midfielder Steven Davis will help the cause.
And despite famously scoring a stunning hat-trick for Hibs at Ibrox in 2005, Sproule has revealed a Rangers supporters' club has already generously agreed to help his club get back on its feet.
Sproule said: "Scott Brown is sending me a Celtic shirt from the weekend.
"He's been a long-time friend. I was in touch with him and he texted me back to say he would get a shirt sent over to help with the fundraising. That's typical of the man.
"I've asked Steven Davis for something and I've been in touch with my old club Hibs and others. A Rangers supporters' club have told me they have a signed shirt so we can raffle that off too.

"We've also had great help from local clubs, the local community, Hibs fans and we appreciate it. We really need all the help we can get.
"The damage that has been left behind after last week's storm has been a nightmare. All the work they had done and the tens of thousands of pounds that they raised tirelessly over the decades was wiped out in one night.
"Whenever the flood happened it was heartbreaking for the people who have been involved in the club for many years. You could see the tears in their eyes. It was soul destroying.

Good to see a fair few Hibbies helping out with this.

Would be good if we could help the wee felly make his target.

It only needs a small donation from all of us that remember Ivan with affection.
