Celtic’s newly crowned Scottish Premiership Champions took time out from their Scottish Cup final preparations to pay a special visit to the Glasgow Children’s Hospital with the League trophy.
Kieran Tierney, Liam Scales, Daizen Maeda, and James Forrest joined club captain Callum McGregor as the players spent time with young patients and their families, handed out gifts, and gave the children the opportunity to see Celtic’s silverware success up close.
Having visited the hospital with the trophy following last season’s title win, the players were delighted to return once again after seeing the happiness it brought to so many children and families.
Callum McGregor said: “We brought the trophy in last year and the kids absolutely loved it, so it was great for us to get the chance to come back again this season.
“We always enjoy coming in to spend time with the children and their families because we know some of them are going through really difficult challenges. If we can brighten their day a little bit, then it means a lot to us as players.
“It probably feels even more special this year because unfortunately all the scheduled visits over Christmas had to be cancelled, so we’re really happy we could come back in before the end of the season.”
Kirsten Watson, CEO of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Celtic for their continued support and for bringing the Scottish Premiership trophy to the children’s hospital yesterday.
“Seeing the players with the trophy gave the children and their families a much-needed boost, and helped to brighten their time in hospital.
“It was especially meaningful to welcome the players yesterday, as last year’s traditional Christmas visit couldn’t go ahead due to the winter flu restrictions.
“We’d like to say a huge thank you once again to the players for taking the time to visit.”
