Open Goal podcaster and football manager Simon Ferry is set to play for Celtic legends against Liverpool legends in the LFC Foundation charity match at Anfield in March.
Ferry is the sixth player to be named in the Celtic team, and the only named player not to have made a competitive first team appearance for the club. He will play alongside Artur Boruc, Stiliyan Petrov, Darren O’Dea, Stephen McManus and Jan Venegoor of Hesselink.
