BRENDAN RODGERS has put the fans at the forefront of his thinking since he got to Celtic last year. Always making sure the players acknowledge the fans and in doing so has cultivated an atmosphere where the fans and the team feel closer than ever.

The Irishman has shown sheer class in everything that he’s done, that’s why it’s no surprise he made one young fans day on Sunday extra special.

Brendan, who had picked up his SPFL medal for leading an invincible and relentless side to 6-in-a-row approached the Celtic crowd after the game and picked out young Aiden Ferry to give his winners medal to.

The six-year-old and youngest member of the Starry Plough CSC was taken aback by the manager’s gesture. Already celebrating an historic day where the club became the invincibles, to get the managers medal was just the icing on the cake for Aiden. Aiden’s proud Dad Kieran spoke of his delight to Celtsarehere.com.

The wee man has followed Celtic home and away this season. He’s been to Motherwell, St Johnstone and Hearts away which were all massive games throughout the season. He absolutely loves Celtic and the gesture from Brendan is just amazing.

Every game, home or away, we head down front for last 10 minutes so he can see his heroes up close. On Sunday, Brendan came right over and handed Aiden his medal. He’s done alright this year, he also got Gamboa’s match top the day Celtic clinched the league at Tynecastle.

It certainly a season the young man will never forget and his Dad tells us Aiden is in the process of writing his new pal Brendan a thank you letter. This is what football is all about, inspiring a young generation to follow the hoops by setting a great example. We hope Aiden cherishes his medal for a long time!
