Oh Lordy, I'd forgotten about the tedium of Scotch football threads

Charity Gesture Typical of John Kennedy
It’s easy to get caught up in the hype surrounding last night’s "Legends" match at Celtic Park when you look at the people taking part.
Celebrities like Gerard Butler, Patrick Kielty, Angus Deayton, great ‘sportsmen’ like former boxers Nigel Benn, Steve Collins and Ricky Hatton, Olympic runner Darren Campbell and Westlife singer Nicky Byrne all took part.
Add to those non footballing people legends Chris Sutton, manager Neil Lennon, the one and only Lubo Moravcik, Roy Keane, Ole Gunner Solsjkaer, Brian McClair and of course the King of Kings Henrik Larsson!
But the real hero of the hour was John Kennedy.
Let’s not forget that last nights game was a benefit match for former Celtic defender John Kennedy who’s promising career was cut short after a horrific tackle playing for Scotland.
This was a young man who only had a fleeting opportunity to play at the highest level. Not a multi-millionaire it should be added.
However, the fact that John chose to donate his share of proceedings to the East Africa Famine Appeal should come as no surprise. John is steeped in the history of Celtic Football Club, a Club born out of a Charitable foundation. He’s Celtic through and through.
And he know what it means to the Celtic Family to do the right thing.
Last night the Celtic Family turned out in large numbers to show their appreciation of John Kennedy and his gesture.
A crowd of 54,000 showed up to see Celtic beat Man Utd 5-2 in a match where the result was meaningless from a footballing perspective, but oh so very important from the angle of altruism.
