The Christmas period is upon us and on Monday, some Celtic players and manager Brendan Rodgers gave an early present to some. Kids at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow were surprised by the visit that was of utmost class.
Brightening up the day of those in worse-off situations this Christmas were the likes of Scott Bain, Kwon, Yuki Kobayashi, Luis Palma, David Turnbull, Matt O’Riley, Anthony Ralston, and many others. Brendan Rodgers was also there.
As well as the players and gaffer making their annual visit to the hospital, the Celtic FC Foundation donated £10,000 to support the work of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. The visit in general underpins Celtic’s core values of helping those in need.
Captain McGregor hailed it as a ‘big day’ for him and his teammates. He said (celticfc.com): “The visits such as this which we make really give us all perspective and really importantly remind us of the real difficulties which so many people face.
“We realise it can be such a hard time for children and their families who are in hospital, at this time of year.
“We hope that in some way our visit can put a smile on their faces and lift their spirits.”
