FOLLOWING yesterday’s official launch of Celtic FC Foundation’s 2016 Christmas Appeal, the manager and members of the first team took time out to show their support.
Brendan Rodgers, Scott Brown, Craig Gordon, Scott Sinclair, Mikael Lustig and Erik Sviatchenko reiterated the aims of this year’s Appeal, which strives to follow in the footsteps of Brother Walfrid, providing comfort to those on our doorstep who need it most.

Celtic FC yesterday gave the Appeal the perfect kickstart – with a magnificent £10,000 donation.
The generosity and compassion of the Celtic Family is unsurpassed. Once again we are looking for your help. Everyone at the club and the Foundation is asking you to back our Appeal, which epitomises the very essence of our club and truly honours the founding principles of Brother Walfrid.
So together, let’s raise more than the roof this Christmas.
