Celtic Fc Foundation's Annual Sporting Dinner's £105k Success

CELTIC FC Foundation’s Annual Sporting Dinner took place last week at Celtic Park – sponsored by IBC Wealth - and the sell-out event proved to be our most successful to date, with an incredible amount in excess of £105k raised.

MC for the event was Peter Martin and he hosted a Q&A with three Celts – Kieran Tierney, Callum McGregor and Jonny Hayes, while chairman, Ian Bankier formally welcomed guests to the event.

There was also a Q&A session featuring manager, Neil Lennon, Scott Brown and Stephen McManus – the three most recent club captains. They shared special memories from their respective careers and a common desire to continue to bring as much success as possible to the club.

Asked about their favourite European memories, Neil and Stephen both opted for the 1-0 victory over Manchester United in November 2006, which saw the club proceed to the knock-out stages of the UEFA Champions League.

Scott went for the close encounter with Shakhter Karagandy in August 2013, when the Bhoys triumphed 3-2 on aggregate, follow a 2-0 defeat away from home.

Tony Hamilton, Celtic FC Foundation’s Chief Executive provided a note of thanks and Andy Cameron hosted the auction and prize draw, entertaining guests as only he can, and as he has done for many years at the Sporting Dinner.
