Rod Stewart and wife Penny use signed Celtic strip to promote football charity for disadvantaged kids

Rod Stewart has taken to social media with his wife Penny to promote a football charity that helps underprivileged kids who can't afford a kit get into the sport.

The Maggie May rocker posted a video of him and wife Penny Lancaster as the couple encouraged people in a position to "donate a boot or two" to check out The Bootroom's page and all the fantastic work they do in helping youngsters. "It is every child right to be given the opportunity to play football - the beautiful game," said Rod.

The couple showcased a Celtic FC strip, which was signed by him and wife Penny, with The Bootroom also printed across the strip. And of course, in true Sir Rod style, he was fully kitted out in his Hoops get-up to break the all-important news to his fans.

The couple shared the news on Rod's Instagram (sirrodstewart/Instagram)

Penny added: "And this is where the bootroom comes in handy because they are providing locations where people can drop their pre-loved boots off by donating them to give to children who can't afford their own boots So please go to the bootroom6, check out their Instagram page and find a location and donate a boot (or two) thanks!"

Rod laughed as the camera cut off from the video as he explained it had just started raining with the couple filming the plea to his 1.2 Instagram followers in their garden.

The charity, thebootroom6 on Instagram, say "We Need your unwanted Football or Rugby Boots - Thebootroom@swanseacity.com"
