Scottish Football Legends Pay Tribute to Beloved Celtic Park Colleague Ahead of Charity Fundraiser

A second mum to a youngster trying to make his way in the game. A welcoming figure to a new arrival at the club. The friendly smile on every matchday. Marie Milne was all of this and more to dozens of footballers who played for Celtic over her 20 years working at the club.

Now some of the biggest names in Scottish football are paying tribute to Marie, who was just 59 when she died in 2019 from the debilitating lung condition COPD.

They have thrown their weight behind a charity walk on the West Highland Way to raise vital funds for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, which supports people across the country who are living with COPD.

Legendary names including former Netherlands striker Pierre van Hooijdonk, ex-Scotland goalkeeper Robert Douglas and midfielder and host of the Open Goal podcast Simon Ferry have shared their memories of Marie.

Pierre’s son Sydney – who plays for Dutch side Heerenveen – also recalls how she cared for him as a tiny tot.

Marie’s son, Chris Mullen, will be joined by former Celtic striker John Hartson and four of his closest friends to tackle the 96-mile route.

The team sets off this Sunday, May 1, aiming to complete the walk in six days and raise thousands for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland.
