CELTIC FC Foundation would like to thank everyone who has taken part so far in our nomination fundraising initiative, Celebrate 9, Nominate 9, Donate 9 and remind fans that you can still take on your own #9IAR challenge, in support of our Football for Good Fund.

Celtic captain, Scott Brown kicked off the initiative on August 5 with his own take on the ‘Maradona 7’ by completing the ‘Broony 9’.

Star of film and TV, Martin Compston followed this up by attempting to do 9 keepie-uppies while blindfolded and then nominated fellow actors, Gianni Capaldi and Tony Curran, who both took on the challenge in an attempt to beat Martin’s effort.

Former Celts, Stiliyan Petrov, Simon Donnelly and Tom Boyd also joined in on the fun, with both Stiliyan and Simon completing 9km runs, while Tom took on an 81km (9x9) cycle.

Individuals, families and Celtic supporters’ slubs throughout the world have taken on a host of wonderful #9IAR challenges and Celtic FC Foundation are extremely grateful for your fantastic support. But there is still plenty of time to get involved and help raise money for a great cause!

To join in, simply:

- Take on your own #9IAR challenge by doing any activity you wish relating to the number 9. Whether it’s attempting to do 9 keepie-uppies, walking 9 laps of your garden or cycling 9km on your bike, the challenge is open to supporters of all ages and you can be as creative as you wish.

- Tag Celtic FC Foundation on social media with a video or photo of you completing your challenge and nominate up to 9 fellow Celts to take on their own challenge.

- Then simply donate £9 (or whatever you can afford) in support of our Football for Good Fund HERE

Proceeds will be devoted to Celtic FC Foundation’s Football for Good Fund, which is providing food and essentials to those most in need within our communities.

Since the launch of the Football for Good Fund and throughout the next six months or so, the Foundation has ensured and will continue to ensure food parcels, basic necessities, hot meals and other critical interventions are available to the growing number of people affected by the ruthlessness of COVID-19.
