Celtic stars in special Champions visit to Glasgow Children's Hospital

Celtic’s Title winning stars today made a fantastic trip to Glasgow Children’s Hospital as they gave some very special young people the chance to see the newly crowned Champions with the Scottish Premiership trophy.

When the team visited at Christmas time to meet the kids at the hospital they promised they would be back, and, today, members of the first team squad visited again, taking their special trophy giving so many deserving kids the opportunity to see Celtic’s top prize up close.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor said: “Having such a close connection to the hospital, we know how difficult it is for the kids there.

"We know the really serious challenges faced by many of the kids and that so many of them are in the hospital long term too, so anything that we can do to lift their spirits in some way, then we are really happy to help.”

Kirsten Sinclair, Chief Executive of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “We are immensely grateful to Celtic Football Club for their continued support and for bringing the Scottish Premiership trophy to the Royal Hospital for Children today.

"Opportunities like this provide a much-needed boost for young patients and their families during what can be incredibly challenging times. The excitement of seeing the trophy and meeting the players created a truly memorable experience that will be cherished by all involved.”

 

Brilliant.

 

Absolutely made those kids day.

 

Superb stuff , must be the biggest perk of the job being able to bring joy to people in that way.

 

Those bhoys must be a lot stronger mentally than they look.
must break your heart seeing those sick kids.

I would be a total wreck being in there for a few hours.

hope the wee yins had a cracking day.

excellent Celtic.

 

Absolutely wonderful.
