Celtic are embracing the festive season with the premiere of their latest Christmas film, "Hoops and Dreams."
Stars old and new feature with appearances by Henrik Larsson, Scott Brown and Joe Hart as well as the current first-team squad and manager Brendan Rodgers.
The film, which debuts today, tells a touching narrative featuring lifelong Celtic supporter Joe and his granddaughter Lily as they prepare for their first Christmas without Joe’s late wife, Margaret.
Set against the backdrop of the holiday season, the story highlights how Joe and Lily experience a magical Christmas filled with joy and wonder, made possible by some of their favourite Celtic players.
The video marks a decade since the club's inaugural Christmas film, which memorably featured former captain Scott Brown donning a green and white onesie.
Returning to the screen after a ten-year hiatus is renowned Scottish TV personality Tony Roper, who takes on the role of Grandpa Joe.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
