Two seriously ill children will lead a tribute to Celtic legend Tommy Burns when Celtic meet Dundee United tomorrow night. Laura Kidd (8) and Caleb Gardiner (9), who both have cancer, will be mascots at the match at Tannadice.

They will walk out with a banner for Tommy dedicated by children from the oncology ward at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.

The youngsters will also take part in a minute’s clapping to honour the former player and manager

Celtic-mad Caleb Gardiner, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in May 2005, will lead out the Bhoys at Tannadice.

Susan Reid,Caleb's carer, said that the youngster was delighted to be meeting his heroes.

She said, “He’s really excited—he’s a big Celtic fan. His mother followed Celtic as well, so that’s where it’s come from.

“When he got told that the game would be against the Arabs he was put out because he thought he’d be the United mascot!”

While warming up for the make-or-break end-of-season fixture in his special Celtic kit, Caleb said that he was looking forward to meeting all the players in the changing rooms before the game—particularly Bobo Balde.

But he did admit that he might have a little bit of stage fright.
“I’m a bit nervous about it,” he said, “There’s lots of people in the crowd.”

Caleb confidently predicted a two or three-nil victory for the Hoops.
