Celtic FC Foundation this week announced a Legends Charity Match at Celtic Park on Sunday, May 26 (KO 2pm) as Celtic Legends take on Borussia Dortmund Legends on what promises to be a fantastic occasion.
The match – sponsored by Dafabet – will once again see Scott Brown pull on the captain’s armband to lead the Celtic Legends squad, as we look forward to a fantastic encounter with a Legends squad from German giants, Borussia Dortmund, featuring the likes of Marcel Schmelzer and Roman Weidenfeller, among many others.
Both sides share a number of special bonds, both having won the greatest prize in club football, with Borussia Dortmund lifting the European Cup in Munich in 1997, almost 30 years to the day from the Lisbon Lions’ famous triumph.
One member of that historic Dortmund side, Paul Lambert, moved on the following November to join Celtic and we are delighted to confirm that Paul will be back in the dugout for the occasion as he takes charge of the Celtic Legends squad for the match, ably assisted by another former club captain and Celtic great, Tom Boyd.

SUPPORTING CELTIC FC FOUNDATION
Funds raised through the match will focus on feeding people in need of support, to reflect the heritage of the club and respond to the current cost of living crisis, which is overwhelming so many families and individuals.
This will include continuation and development of Celtic FC Foundation’s Paradise Pit Stop project at Celtic Park. In addition, we will look to secure new locations for food provision with local partners in Inverclyde and Lanarkshire, plus London and Ireland to complement our current delivery of key projects in those areas.
With Scott Brown set to captain the side, we’re delighted to confirm that a donation will also be made to Dundee Cancer Centre at Ninewells Hospital, in memory of his sister Fiona, who sadly passed away in 2008 aged just 21.
