Even 20 years later, the tragedy Liverpool Football Club and your supporters suffered at Hillsborough on 15 April 1989 is, I am sure, still very painful and difficult to comprehend.
The events that day changed domestic football forever and it is very regrettable that such a disaster was the catalyst for the safety we now take for granted in stadia up and down the country.
Throughout all that time your club conducted itself with great dignity and I know that several members of your staff at that time attended each of the 96 funerals. That must have been unbelievably distressing and those involved can only be commended.
I recall with both pride and sadness that Celtic hosted a benefit game in what was to be Liverpool's very first match following that fateful cup tie and that strengthened what were already very strong bonds between our two clubs.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, the team and the wider Liverpool FC family as you approach this anniversary.
With very best wishes to you all,
Yours sincerely
Dr John Reid, Chairman, Celtic Football Club.
we acknowledge your gesture.
Thank you very much
