Testimonial
A testimonial fixture for Kennedy between Scotland and Celtic had been mooted, while a match between Finn Harps and Celtic had been arranged for 28 November 2010, but was postponed. The game was replayed on Sunday 6 March with Celtic winning 4-1. A further testimonial match was arranged for Sunday 22 May 2011 at Celtic Park between the current Celtic side and some of the Celtic team that made it to Seville for the 2003 UEFA Cup Final including the manager back then, Martin O'Neill. However, this match was also postponed, and eventually replaced with a match between a team of Celtic Legends, managed by Martin O'Neill, and a team of Manchester United Legends. The match was played on 9 August 2011 with Celtic winning 5-2, and the proceeds were donated to Oxfam's East Africa charity appeal.
