The Celtic FC Foundation have announced a Billy McNeil fundraising event titled "In the Footsteps of Cesar.

The event will take place on the morning of bank holiday Monday May 29, 2023 and will see fans walk from the McNeill statue at the bottom of the Celtic Way, to the newly erected statue of Cesar in his hometown of Bellshill.

Gerrard McNeil, the grandson of the Lisbon Lion, said: "It’s an honour for our family to be involved in anything to do with our Granddad.

"Having the statues in both locations is an absolute privilege and obviously we are immensely proud of Granddad’s achievements and how his legacy has been carried on through the work of both of these fantastic charities.

"I am hoping to run some of the way so I have started some light training, along with a few 5ks and my regular game of fives. As long as I am ahead of my brother on the walk - as well as the fundraising – I will be happy with that."

Registration for the event is now open and the cost to enter is £20 for those aged 16 and over, or £15 for those aged 10-15. You can register to take part HERE.

Proceeds raised from the event will be shared equally between Celtic FC Foundation and the Billy McNeill Commemoration Charity.

Meanwhile, Celtic Women's star Caitlin Hayes has made history after being named in the first ever SWPL Team of the Week.

The 27-year-old scored a last-minute equaliser in the recent 1-1 draw against Rangers and now she has received another accolade.

Previously, there was a Team of the Week released after every round of fixtures for each of the top flight leagues in the men's game.

And now the SWPL has followed suit, rewarding the best players in the division with a place  on the list.

Hayes is the only Celtic representative on the list, with other players included such as Rangers' Brogan Hay and Glasgow City's Laura Davidson.
