Celtic to Give Tickets to Unemployed Fans for Post-Christmas Match

Good on you, Celtic. 

The Scottish Premiership leaders announced a very classy gesture that will surely go over very well with supporters of the club (or people who are simply fans of people doing nice things for each other, really). 

For the team's match against Ross County on 27 December, two days after Christmas, Celtic will give away free tickets to unemployed fans (with "relevant documentation") of the club as a late Christmas present. 

As per Celtic's official website: 

"

The initiative reflects our commitment to stay true to the founding principles of the club by helping those less fortunate and remain a Club open to all. 

In the past year we have been working on improving fan engagement and this offer has been developed on the back of proposals put forward through this process.

[...] 

We hope that by giving unemployed supporters the chance to attend Celtic Park for the match against Ross County will bring some Christmas cheer to fans who may not otherwise have been able to do so. 

"

Everton's Steven Naismith did a similar act of awesome for out-of-work folk back in August.
