Celtic announce a special day of events ahead of title homecoming against Hibs

A group of young fans will enjoy a day they'll never forget at Celtic Park Celtic have announced a special day of events for this weekend's title homecoming to celebrate inclusion and accessibility. The newly-crowned champions return to Parkhead for the first time since wrapping up the title two weeks ago at Tannadice. ‌ And the club will use the joyous occasion against Hibs to highlight the experiences of supporters with disabilities and empower their matchday experience. ‌ The day's activity will begin before kick-off, as players from both teams walk onto the pitch alongside young impaired mascots. Zander, a guide dog puppy in training, will be among the special guests showcasing the vital role service animals play in supporting people to access live football safely and independently. At halftime, a group of inspiring fans will participate in a 10-second challenge to score a goal in front of a sold-out stadium. And to round off the magical day, youngsters will create lifelong memories by meeting their Celtic heroes at full-time for photos and autographs. Proud Disabled Support Liaison Officer, Alexis Dobbin, said: "At Celtic, we believe Football is for All. It's vital that we continue to remove both physical and sensory barriers to ensure everyone – regardless of their ability – can experience the magic of a live match at Celtic Park. "Saturday is about visibility, celebration and commitment – and we're proud to shine a light on our incredible fans with disabilities." ‌ Captain Callum McGregor added: "Returning to Celtic Park as Champions is always special – but sharing that moment with these inspirational children makes it even more meaningful. "Their courage and love for the game remind us all why football is such a powerful force for good. We're proud to stand with them today."
