Stephen "Stevie" Woods (born 23 February 1970 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former goalkeeper who currently works as a goalkeeping coach for Celtic. During his playing career Woods played for Hibernian, Clydebank, Preston North End, Motherwell and St Mirren.[1] Before he joined Celtic in 2007, Woods was the goalkeeping coach for Livingston and Dunfermline Athletic.

Cancer Fundraising

He made a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro in June 2009 to raise money for The Anthony Nolan Trust which is a charity focusing on leukaemia and bone marrow transplant. He is a long supporter of the trust and first got involved when he met cancer sufferer (Johanna MacVicar) while working at Motherwell FC in 2005. He does this as "I can help spread the message and encourage others to support the charity's work" and since the death of Tommy Burns, it gave him an extra incentive to complete the trek.
