John Hartson has decided to auction off his last ever Celtic top.
The Welshman pulled on the famous hoops for the last time back in 2006 scoring in a 2-2 draw away to Aberdeen to hit the 20 mark for the season. During the summer he was sold to West Brom.

Alongside Chris Sutton and Henrik Larsson he was the attacking face of Martin O’Neill’s Celtic side that truly ended the domination of Scottish football that David Murray had enjoyed up until 2000.
All the proceeds from the shirt auction will go to the NHS with the former Celtic striker having more reason that most to be grateful to the Health Service.
In 2009 Hartson underwent life-saving cancer surgery with an image of him in his hospital bed pinned at the top of his Twitter account.
With Larsson and Sutton already at the club O’Neill signed Hartson for £6.5m from Coventry in the summer of 2001, until Leigh Griffths hit the landmark in 2019 he had been the last player to score 100 goals for Celtic.
