MANY of Celtic’s first team stars will be in Donegal next weekend to play a friendly against Finn Harps as part of the John Kennedy Testimonial Weekend on Sunday, November 28 next.
The squad includes former Derry City wingers, Niall McGinn and Paddy McCourt plus rising star, Dubliner Anthony Stokes, who recently fired in a hat trick in the 9-0 thrashing of Aberdeen. Giorgios Samaras, Gary Hooper and Shaun Maloney will also be among Neil Lennon’s high-profile Hoops on show at Finn Park.
Proceeds from the game will go towards charitable causes across the county including the Donegal Hospice.
The young players of Finn Harps, having recently completed their 2010 League Campaign with some impressive results, will be looking forward to testing themselves against Neil Lennon’s new-look Celtic side, currently one point behind Rangers at the top of the SPL.
The travelling Celtic party will also include Parkhead Legend John Hartson, who is in Donegal to launch the John Hartson Foundation in Ireland.
Having experienced the ordeal of testicular cancer himself, Hartson now aims to raise awareness about the disease. For more info check out www.johnhartson.co.uk .
