Dwight Yorke, said –

This is shaping up to be a great game of football. The Celtic team is a who’s who of top legends and some very interesting celebs are making an appearance too. But just because this is a charity match doesn’t mean we are coming up to make up the numbers. We have top Man United legends and a great squad of celebrities from music, film, TV and sport in our team, who can all play a bit. I know that Henrik always gets an amazing reception at Celtic Park and it’s great that he’s flying in for the game. It’s going to be an amazing atmosphere up there.

All the money raised from the game will go to the Oxfam East Africa appeal, and you will be able to text donations throughout the match to show your support. I know I will be definitely tuning in and making a donation, if only to see Roy Keane in a red shirt again, the man is a true legend in my house and it’s great to see the footballing fraternity join together for such a great cause.
