By Graeme Yorke The Greek Football Association have offered young Celtic fan Jay Beatty the trip of a lifetime to see his hero Georgios Samaras in action at the World Cup. Beatty, who was carried around the pitch by Samaras on Celtic's end-of-season lap of honour, will get a chance to see the Greek striker when they take on Costa Rica in the last 16 on Sunday. The young fan was also handed a league winner's medal by manager Neil Lennon.
