Rahim, a Green Party candidate for City Council in 2002, is the nucleus of Common Ground Collective, a grass-roots recovery effort of volunteers parachuting into the city from points across the nation.
Rahim's late mother's home, which survived the storms intact, has become the epicenter of the effort to deliver water, food, ice and medical care to the city's poorest.
When Rahim was in his early twenties and still went by the name Donald Guyton, he returned from Vietnam and joined the Black Panthers, a national militant liberation movement dedicated to battling racism and not averse to using violence.
Rahim, who has been performing creditably for Falkirk Reserves, playing in a forward position as well, has not been given a break in the first team and is keen to either move on, or sort out a new contract at the Falkirk in time for the team’s entry to the Premiers League next season.
Rahim said that he is being used in his preferred central midfield position and will now aim to continue where he left off before being offered the on loan deal.
Rahim was not i the line-up but having played in some of the team's earlier matches, he was also caught up in the celebrations in his first season there.
