The benefit match for Phil O'Donnell will be played in May

O'Donnell, 35, collapsed and died of heart failure during a match against Dundee United on 29 December.

Proceeds from the tribute match on Sunday 25 May will go towards the Phil O'Donnell Trust as well as a range of charitable organisations.

Members of Motherwell's 1991 Scottish Cup-winning side will play Celtic's 1998 SPL-winning team at Celtic Park.

Motherwell chief executive Ian Stillie said: "We felt this is one of the most appropriate ways in which to remember and honour Phil.

We are sure the occasion will be one where the whole of Scottish football will pay their respects to Phil Celtic chairman Peter Lawwell

"It will also be an opportunity for supporters of any team to pay their respects to a man who was taken so young in such tragic circumstances."

Celtic's chief executive Peter Lawwell told Motherwell's official website: "We are delighted to be hosting this match at Celtic Park, an event which we feel will be a fitting tribute to Phil, a man who was loved and respected by so many.

"The tragic events of December are still very fresh in the memory and we felt it was very important that an appropriate gesture was made, to honour the life of Phil.

"Both ourselves and Motherwell will be working closely to ensure that this event is a great success.

"We are sure the occasion will be one where the whole of Scottish football will pay their respects to Phil and celebrate the life of such a great man."
