The Scottish Premier League champions are hosting the Jock Stein 30th Anniversary Charity clash between Celtic Legends and Dunfermline on Sunday – and have announced they’re giving proceeds from the clash to an international aid agency to help migrants.

Speaking about the move, Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell said: 

"Having seen the effects of this humanitarian crisis unfold in recent days, we felt as a club we should help in any way we can. Celtic was established as a football club to help people in need and this ethos remains a fundamental part of our club almost 130 years after our formation. None of us can understand the true horrors of this situation but as a club we wanted to show our support for those affected."
