Tickets on sale for #19 Stan's Charity game at Celtic

Aston Villa is selling a small allocation of tickets for Stiliyan Petrov's charity game at Celtic Park.

Stan will pull his boots back on to captain a Stiliyan XI against a Celtic XI on Sunday 8th September.

The '#19 Legends' match, which will raise money for Petrov's foundation and the Celtic charity, will also see appearances from Henrik Larsson, Paul Lambert, Chris Sutton and  Neil Lennon.

Martin O'Neill will manage the Celtic XI.

Villa has an allocation of 500 tickets for the game priced at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions, which kicks off at 2pm.

Stan said "It will be a wonderful start for my foundation, and I'm really happy to be coming back to a place where I spent seven brilliant years. It will be great to see everyone there."

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell added: 'Stiliyan was a wonderful servant to the club and his drive, commitment and natural flair made him a true fans' favourite.

'He has shown remarkable courage and determination in his battle against leukaemia and we will continue to support him as his recovery continues.

'We are absolutely delighted to host this charity match which will provide our supporters with a collective opportunity to show their appreciation and love for one of our own.'

The tickets are on sale from Friday.
