"Liverpool Football Club have always enjoyed a special relationship with Celtic. And next year we want to take this unique friendship to the next level," said Hillsborough Family Support Group chairman Phil Hammond.
"Next year it will be 20 years without our loved ones, 20 years of sheer hell and injustice. I'm pleased to announce that agreement has been reached with Liverpool to play a charity match on or about April 19th.
"It won't be the current team who plays, of course, but more appropriately we are trying to arrange a game between the Liverpool and Celtic players who played in the immediate aftermath of the disaster.
"Fingers crossed it will be played at Anfield and all proceeds will be split between the Hillsborough Families Support Group and the Marina Dalglish Appeal."
