A CELTIC supporters group is planning to hold its annual foodbank collection at Parkhead on Saturday.

The Green Brigade is calling on all supporters attending the club's match against Kilmarnock to support the collection for city foodbanks.

The collection, which is now in its fifth year, will take place before the match kicks off at 3pm and several points have been identified around the stadium where supporters can drop off goods.

Supporters are asked to bring items including UHT milk and juice, sugar, tinned vegetables, fruit and fish, soup, tea bags, instant coffee and toiletries for both women and men.

The items can be dropped off at collection points at section 111 of the stadium at Janefield Street, the Celtic Way, bus park and at the Gallowgate/Holywell Street.

The collection will go to a total of eight foodbanks in the city including the Glasgow North East Foodbank who shared their support for the event on their social media pages.

Fundraisers will also have buckets out at the collection points for any monetary donations.

In a statement, the Green Brigade said: "This will be the fifth consecutive year we have organised a collection at Celtic Park, and the food donations have made a massive difference to the people of Glasgow and beyond at what is always a difficult time of the year for so many.

"We have invited a total of eight food banks from different parts of Glasgow to bring vans on the day, and we will be raising money to be distributed to others across Scotland in the hope that we can help as many families as possible in the run up to Christmas."

The event will also support the charity Scottish Action for Refugees (SAFR).

The supporters' group said: "We as a support have proved time and again how much of a positive impact we make to the lives of those who need a little help, and since our inception in 1888, have refused to sit by and let our communities go hungry. This initiative has become an important part of that and we are grateful for any donations received, no matter how big or small."
