Celtic manager Ronny Deila has lent his famous ‘roar’ to the fight for Frank’s Law.
Deila – renowned for his ‘Ronny Roar’ celebration after Celtic victories – has shown his support for Amanda Kopel’s campaign.
The Hoops boss backed the cause and was happy to pose with a Frank’s Law T-shirt.
He also passed on his best wishes to Mrs Kopel and her family.
A Frank’s Law spokesman said: “Ronny wished Amanda and her family and campaigners every good wish for success.”
He described Ronny as “an absolute gentleman” and the photograph has now been shared countless times across social media.
Mrs Kopel’s husband Frank died in April last year having been diagnosed with dementia in 2009, when he was aged just 59.
He and his wife paid about £300 a week so he could have personal care in his Kirriemuir home because he did not reach the qualifying age for free services until weeks before his death.
Mrs Kopel is urging ministers to close the loophole a bid The Courier is backing.
Deila is not the first big name in Scottish football to pledge his support.
Dundee United manager Mixu Paatelainen is among the high profile names to back the campaign.
Others include Tannadice legends Dave Bowman, Dave Narey, Paul Hegarty, John Holt and Hamish McAlpine.
Celebrity backing has also come from ‘Real Gone Kid’ Ricky Ross from Deacon Blue and breakfast TV queen Lorraine Kelly.
The ‘Ronny Roar’ has become a post-match ritual for the Hoops boss after games since he took the job in 2014.
It began after Celtic beat Aberdeen 2-1 at Pittodrie last season and the Celtic boss has continued with it ever since.
Deila has adopted a post-match ritual with the Hoops support when he runs across the pitch and gives a fist-pump salute to them.
Deila’s Celtic team won the League Cup and the Scottish Premiership title in his first season at Parkhead.
After several requests from fans, Celtic eventually commissioned a Ronny Roar T-shirt featuring the boss in full flow.
