Celtic announce huge donation to Glasgow children's charity in classy Christmas touch

The Celtic foundation have announced a £10,000 donation to the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity as a generous Christmas gift.

The Premiership club donate to good causes this time every year in an annual initiative to give back to the community.

This year they have elected to donate to the children's hospital, which treats nearly 200,000 children each year.

The donation will help the hospital support over 500 families throughout Greater Glasgow and Clyde over Christmas.

Kirsten Watson, Chief Executive at Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, said: "We sincerely thank Celtic for this very generous donation and are looking forward once again to our virtual visit from the club which will brighten up the days of young patients and their families in hospital this festive season.

"This gift will make such a huge difference to children and families who will spend Christmas in hospital, and we are incredibly grateful to Celtic FC Foundation for their continued support.”

Ange Postecoglou and Greg Taylor were pictured handing the gift over and captain Callum McGregor spoke to the media about the donation.

The skipper said: “We are delighted to present this donation to the hospital and help with the fantastic work which they do.

"We know Christmas time can be really tough for the children and their families at the hospital and we really look forward to seeing the kids on our virtual visit ahead of Christmas, a time which will also give us a chance to thank the staff at the hospital for all they do.

"They make such a positive difference to the children and they deserve huge praise for their fantastic work throughout the year.

"We wish all the children at the hospital and of course all the wonderful staff, a very Merry Christmas."
