Scot Hoist LTD sponsor The Lions' View Sensory Room | OneFootball

Celtic FC Foundation are delighted to announce that Scot Hoist LTD, a local company led by owner Robert Steele, has become the new sponsor of the acclaimed Lions’ View Sensory Room at Celtic Park.

Scot Hoist LTD is a Glasgow-based lifting equipment specialist and proud supporter of Celtic FC Foundation, with Robert and the team delighted to get behind this important initiative.

The sponsorship will run throughout the 2026/27 season, covering the management and operational costs of the Sensory Room. This specially designed facility provides a full matchday experience for children, young people and adults with sensory needs, as well as individuals and groups with complex physical and learning needs. Thanks to this support, Celtic FC Foundation can continue to offer this unique matchday experience free of charge to all participants.

Located in Celtic Park’s Lisbon Lions Stand, the pitch-facing facility opened in April 2019. It offers a safe and secure environment and viewing area on matchdays, with a capacity to host 14 people along with two Celtic FC Foundation staff members who support participants. At full capacity, around 300 children, young people and adults will benefit from the matchday experience each season. Additionally, the facility can be used for midweek project sessions, significantly increasing the total number of potential annual beneficiaries.

Following a recent visit to the Lions' View Sensory Room, Robert Steele said: “Being a lifelong Celtic supporter has given me the privilege of experiencing so many unforgettable moments at Celtic Park, creating special memories with family and friends that I will always cherish. Sponsoring the Lions’ View Sensory Room is our way of helping other families enjoy those same experiences in an environment designed to meet their individual needs.

“The facilities within the Lions’ View Sensory Room are exceptional and help make the experience of one of the world’s most iconic football atmospheres even more memorable and accessible. We are incredibly honoured and proud to support such a wonderful initiative.”

Head of Celtic FC Foundation Jane Maguire said: “We are incredibly grateful to Robert and everyone at Scot Hoist LTD for their generous sponsorship of the Lions’ View Sensory Room. Their support enables us to continue making a meaningful difference for supporters with sensory needs, as well as individuals and groups with complex physical and learning needs.

"Scot Hoist LTD are a valued new supporter of Celtic FC Foundation. Their decision to sponsor the Lions' View Sensory Room marks the beginning of what we hope will be a strong and lasting partnership. We are delighted to be working together and look forward to collaborating on future initiatives.”
