The Irish Celtic Supporters Clubs' tenth annual charity dinner was held at the City West Hotel in Dublin on Saturday night in association with Topflight Soccer and The Irish Daily Star.

There were almost 1,000 Celtic supporters attending on the night who got the chance to meet their heroes.  Some of these included Aidan McGeady, Darren O' Dea, Andreas Hinkel, Stephen McManus and new signing Paddy McCourt.  Also in attendance was coach Neil Lennon, 1967 legends John Fallon and Charlie Gallagher, and guest of honour was former Celtic captain Tom Boyd.

 

Fitting tributes were paid to recently deceased club greats Tommy Burns and Phil O' Donnell, and AICSC chairman Tom Maher praised the work of the association, and everyone who turned up on the night.  He said;

"We have been going for ten years and it's great to get the players over here to greet the Irish fans.  It was great to have the SPL trophy here for the third year in a row, and hopefully it will be back next year".

 

The ballroom was decorated with countless flags and banners from supporters clubs all around the country.

Entertainment was provided by Uisce Bheatha and Celtic Storm.

 

A great night was had by all.
