Celtic FC Foundation are delighted to announce that we are partnering with MND Scotland to mark the 20th anniversary of the passing of Celtic legend Jimmy Johnstone, who bravely faced motor neuron disease (MND).

In tribute to the shirt number he proudly wore for the Hoops, ‘Jinky’s Journey’ will see supporters follow a 7-mile route from the Jimmy Johnstone Memorial Garden in Viewpark to his statue outside Celtic Park, on Bank Holiday Monday, 4 May 2026.

We’d love you to join us on this walk from Jinky’s hometown to Paradise, celebrating the life of the man supporters voted the Greatest Ever Celt.

MND Scotland

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a rapidly progressing, terminal condition for which there is currently no cure or meaningful treatment. The average life expectancy is just 18 months from diagnosis, and the disease causes people to lose the ability to eat, move, speak, and eventually breathe unaided.

There are currently around 480 people living with MND in Scotland, with 200 new diagnoses each year. MND Scotland is the only charity in Scotland that provides direct support to people with MND and their families while also funding vital MND research.

Thank you for your wonderful support.
