CELTIC star Kris Commons and his wife Lisa have whisked the family of tragic Oscar Knox on holiday – just weeks after the five-year-old lost his battle with cancer.

The star couple had been long-time supporters of Oscar as he battled neuroblastoma – a form of brain cancer – before his death last month.

Oscar’s parents Stephen and Leona, along with their daughter Isobella, joined Kris and Lisa with their own kids April, William and Jax.

Lisa tweeted a picture of the two families smiling in the sunshine, and added: “An absolute pleasure to have the Knox’s on holiday with us. Lots of memories are being shared.”

Lisa and Kris suffered the pain of losing a child themselves. Their first daughter Lola was stillborn six years ago.

Little Oscar from County Antrim in Northern Ireland had captured the hearts of thousands of people as he battled bravely against the aggressive cancer.

His family raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for him to undergo treatment in the United States.

And Kris and Lisa were heavily involved in the drive to raise funds for Oscar’s treatment.

In 2012 Lisa, who was heavily preganant at the time, led fellow Celtic WAGS in raising cash before a game with Dundee.

She said at the time: “We really feel for Oscar’s family, and I just hope everyone working together can make a difference.”

More than 1000 people attended Oscar’s funeral, with Kris speaking during the service.
