A Mark of respect at the Celtics summer tournament

Aug 16, 2014

There was a sombre mood as Copenhagen Celtic’s summer party kicked off on Saturday following the news that one its most loyal servants, Mark Mulholland, a former barman at the John Bull pub, had died in Glasgow. He was just 49 and been a player at the club for over 20 years.

Meanwhile, the Rest of the World team took home the title thanks to a strong Danish presence. Here they are (back left to right): Robert Stronach (Bahamas), Emil Fosgaard Lund (Den), Joakim Jepsen (Den), Marco Riva (Swi), Hendrik Zimmer (Ger) and Søren Moesgaard (Den); front, left to right: Alec Orlov (Rus), Michael Wibe (Den), Mikkel Røddik (Den) and Matthias Feyh (Ger).
