Two star-studded teams will take to the pitch at Celtic Park this weekend for a charity match in aid of cancer.

A Match for Cancer, sponsored by Dafabet and Laduma, will see Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, leading opposing teams made up of footballers and famous faces alike in a one-off game this Saturday.

Celtic legend, Stiliyan Petrov - who has bravely battled through leukaemia since being diagnosed in 2012 - and Liverpool midfielder, James Milner have carefully selected the opposing squads from the worlds of football and entertainment.

Famous footballing faces playing for the Hoops side include Celtic legends Artur Boruc and Henrik Larsson, Jackie McNamara, who made more than 350 appearances for Celtic and current captain Scott Brown who has almost made 500 appearances for the Parkhead side.

Among those experienced in the sport, Celtic daft actor Martin Compston will also be pulling on a jersey to raise money as part of this unique event.

The Liverpool side is made up entirely of famous sporting legends such as Jamie Redknapp, John Terry and Dirk Kuyt, to name a few.

And former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given, who played for Celtic in his younger years, will play a half for both sides.

All funds raised from the match and connected events will be donated to fighting cancer through Celtic FC Foundation, The Stiliyan Petrov Foundation and The James Milner Foundation.

Although the game is set to kick off at 2pm, fans are invited to head to the stadium as early as 12pm to enjoy a whole host of entertainment for the whole family including dance lessons and interactive circus acts.

Fans will also have the opportunity to pick up a special edition matchday programme which includes exclusive interviews with those taking part in the game.

Tickets for the event cost £14 for adults and £6 for concessions and can be purchased from the box office on the day.

Unfortunately, the match will not be shown on television, but fans can listen in on the action through Celtic TV, with highlights being shown on Liverpool’s LFCTV from 8.30pm.
