There was a classy, heartwarming moment at Celtic Park recently.
Celtic capped a title-winning campaign with a 3-1 victory over Dundee United. After receiving their winners’ medals and all the normal celebrations, manager Neil Lennon ran to the stands and gave away his medal to Jay Beatty, an 11-year-old Celtic fan who has Down’s syndrome.
Greek striker Georgios Samaras then ran over and picked up Beatty and carried the smiling boy around the pitch to take in applause of the 52,400 in attendance.
That is beautiful!

Reblogged this on The Cut-Throat Clubhouse Online and commented:
There is goodness in this world. We have to celebrate when we find it. I have tears and goose bumps. I love when someone who could easily overlooked is treated with love not pity. All the right reasons. The expression on the boys face when realizing he had the metal is priceless.
