Big-hearted Celtic midfielder Nir Bitton has donated money towards a dream holiday for a young girl battling a brain tumour.

Jasmin Henderson, 6, was diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) in November 2016.

Since then, family and friends have been fundraising to help the Livingston youngster make precious memories.

And , when charity When You Wish Upon a Star stepped in to pay for her to make the trip to Disney World Florida, Bitton decided to make it extra special.

After hearing about Jasmin's story, the Israeli international handed over £1,000 to the little girl's cause.

He also donated a Celtic shirt to help bring in more money.

Bowled over by the 25-year-old's generosity, an update was shared on the Keep Jasmin Smiling Facebook page to thank him.

The profile, which shares snippets of Jasmin's journey, told how sister Shola went along to Celtic's match against Hamilton yesterday to meet Bitton.

Alongside a snap of the star holding the jersey, they also revealed an envelope of money with a handwritten message reading: "Hope you enjoy Disneyland, keep smiling."

The Facebook post added: "A huge thank you to Celtic player Nir Bitton who heard about Jasmin, and that her wish to go to Disney World Florida had been granted by When You Wish Upon a Star, so gave her £1000 to take with her & a signed football shirt for us to sell & raise more money!

"Jasmin couldn't make it to the game today but her sister Shola loved watching the game and meeting Nir.

"Thank you so much Nir Bitton."

Bitton celebrated the birth of his first child, a daughter, in December.
