Brendan Rodgers and the Celtic team have been granted a unique opportunity for a private audience with Pope Francis following their Champions League match against Lazio in Rome.
This special meeting is scheduled to take place the day after the game, deviating from Celtic’s usual practice of flying home immediately after European matches.
A group from Celtic, comprising Rodgers, his backroom staff, players, and club directors, is scheduled to visit the Vatican. For their 8 a.m. encounter with the Pope, they intend to go to the Vatican early in the morning, at approximately 7 a.m. [SunSport]
Heads of state and world leaders are usually the only ones invited to this kind of gathering, which emphasises how special and uncommon this chance is for the Celtic group.
Pope Francis had to cancel some audiences due to having the flu. However, as of now, the meeting with Celtic is still planned to proceed. Hopefully, he can recover from the illness and give the Celtic delegate a special opportunity.
