INTERNATIONAL superstar Ed Sheeran performed in front of two full houses at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow last Thursday and Friday, and will return to the venue again for Sunday�€™s European Music Awards, where he has been nominated for Best Male Artist.
The popular singer-songwriter is in the midst of a sell-out European tour, but took some time out last week to sign a Celtic home shirt, which he has kindly donated to Celtic FC Foundation�€™s 2014 Christmas Appeal.
The shirt will be auctioned off online on Celtic FC Foundation�€™s official eBay charity page from 7pm on Tuesday, November 4, with all proceeds then going towards this year�€™s Christmas Appeal �€“ an annual campaign which makes an incredible difference to so many lives within our community, during what can be a particularly challenging time of year.
More information on this year�€™s appeal can be found below.

�€œI just wanted to email and say a huge thank you for supporting the families with the Celtic FC Foundation Appeal! A granny came in today as she guessed it may have come through the school�€�..we were both in tears as this donation really does make a HUGE difference to the Christmas the kids will have.
