Rod Stewart poses with Celtic top as rocker promotes football charity

Sir Rod Stewart has posted to his social media to help promote a football charity aimed at helping disadvantaged children who are trying to get into the sport.

Alongside his wife, Penny Lancaster, the pair can be seen holding up a Celtic strip, signed by himself and his partner. The Maggie May singer also sported some Hoops gear, wearing a yellow Celtic half-zip as the couple stood in their garden.

Posting a short video on his Instagram stories, the singer encouraged his followers to "donate a boot or two" to charity 'The BootRoom', with the organisation helping disadvantaged kids across the county get into football.

The Hoops-daft song-writer said: "It is every child right to be given the opportunity to play football - the beautiful game."

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, looking concerned looked at the camera laughing adding: "It's just started raining" as the pair ended their post.

Taking to Instagram, the charity later re-uploaded the Instagram story to their own account adding the caption: "How Fab is This Huge thanks to Sir Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster for the Amazing support over 200 new followers since Rod Posted the Video" followed by a green and white heart.

They added: "Anyone who wants to contact us Direct please email Thebootroom@swanseacity.com"

It comes shortly after Rod celebrated as Ange Postecoglou's Celtic side got their hands on their first trophy this campaign in front of Hampden crowd last month.

The Hoops saw off Rangers in a 2-1 victory, with a Kyogo double securing the first silverware of the season.
