A Celtic legends team face their Liverpool counterparts at Anfield on March 25th and the Reds announced their first batch of players taking part.
Defenders Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel, Ragnar Klavan and Gregory Vignal will line up against the Hoops, who have already announced appearances from Artur Boruc and Stiliyan Petrov in the fixture.
The Liverpool quartet have a combined appearance total of more than 600 between them with Agger and Skrtel forming a particularly productive partnership during their time at the club.
It was recently confirmed that an icon of both clubs, Kenny Dalglish, will manage the Liverpool team in the fixture – joined by Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge.
Tickets are on sale now and 100 per cent of the match proceeds have been committed to good causes.
Beneficiaries will include Celtic FC Foundation, Forever Reds (the official LFC former players association which, among other things, provides support to the club’s former players in need of care) and a range of programmes delivered by LFC Foundation and their partner organisations including schools, inclusive sports, social action, health and wellbeing and food poverty.
Earlier this week, Celtic FC Foundation announced their latest brilliant project – the ‘Paradise Pit Stop’.
The club will be opening their doors every Monday and Thursday evening, offering a space to obtain a free warm meal and hot drinks to those who need them.
No doubt a healthy crowd will turn up at Anfield to take in this match and hopefully lots of money is raised to support similar endeavours.
We look forward to more player announcements in the coming weeks!
