The Celtic FC Foundation hosted its annual Gala Dinner in London last night, welcoming some special guests to the English capital.

Hoops first-team manager Brendan Rodgers was in attendance, alongside greats such as Martin O’Neill, Stilliyan Petrov, and Chris Sutton.

Former Celt Kieran Tierney was there, too. The left-back, who remains on the books with Arsenal, was pictured chatting to Rodgers, sparking excitement among the Parkhead faithful.

Whether an emotional Celtic return will come to fruition for Tierney remains to be seen, but the boss will have undoubtedly planted a seed last night.

The main focus of the evening, though, was charity.

The foundation carry out some amazing work and raised a wealth of funds on Friday.

Former Hoops striker-turned-pundit Sutton took to the stage and was in good form, according to his old teammate Petrov.

Sutton has since taken to X following the event, posting a few snaps and sharing how he got the opportunity to interview his old gaffer, O’Neill:

Celtic fans will have been pleased to see several of their past and present heroes link up yesterday evening.

The club is like no other and never fails to create a special bond with successful ex-players and managers. That was no more coherent than last night.
