Gaz52 11,837 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Statement from them and they can't help but talk their own club up of course... Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: "We are pleased to be able to make a donation which will assist both Fernando's family and MND Scotland."At Celtic, unfortunately we are all too familiar with MND and its devastating effects. Jimmy Johnstone, the man voted Celtic's greatest ever player, fought bravely against this illness as did former player John Cushley, someone who gave so many years' service to the Club."Through Celtic FC Foundation and our wider charitable work, we are also in contact with a number of supporters who are facing this disease. We have had a long association with charities which work to tackle MND and through this event we are pleased to be able to offer our support again."We would like also to take this opportunity to send our thoughts and best wishes to Fernando and his family."Tony Hamilton, Chief Executive of Celtic FC Foundation, added: "Celtic FC Foundation aims to make a positive difference in areas of Health, Equality, Learning and Poverty whenever and wherever we can be of assistance."Celtic has been a club for all people since its formation and an inherent charitable dimension is something which has characterised our Club from day one."We are delighted that today this ethos remains as strong as ever, with the Foundation raising and distributing over £10million in recent years and thousands of people receiving support through local, national and international initiatives."With Health being one of our key areas of activity, we are delighted to make this donation in relation to Sunday's match."

Chineseboy 1,563 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yep, good gesture and much appreciated. Decent supporters on both sides realise that there are more important things than football. I wouldn't wish this disease on my worst enemy.

Dan Deacon 55,547 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Credit where it's due. I wonder however if this is a £10000 sweeping brush to cover the tracks of that ignorant fan from the zombie facebook thing and of course any events before during and after the OF Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMC 125 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Nice gesture but it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.. Sorry but can´t help it, we can argue and bicker about Rangers and money as much as we like but this tastes likes alms for the poor in some way. I might be slightly prejudiced against them though I must admit.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
