Three local charities have received a boost from the Elms Bar in Saltcoats following their recent successful question and answer session with Celtic stars.

John Hartson, Mark Wilson and Mark Guidi, of Go Radio, attended the evening, which went down a storm with Hoops fans.

Elms owner Joseph Fitzpatrick has now handed the cash raised to the charities Marion's Still Smiling,  Whitlees Community Association and Let's Save Lives Again.

Joseph revealed: "The evening was a great success. We plan to hold another event later in the year, with the proceeds going to other local charities."
