Music legend Sir Rod Stewart visited Angels Hotel in Uddingston for the first time last night (Wednesday 13 May), where he was presented with a special framed photograph in honour of Celtic icon Harry Hood.
Sir Rod specifically asked to visit what he called “Harry Hood’s Angels Hotel”. The framed photograph, taken in 2017, shows Harry Hood with his family alongside Moussa Dembele, who officially opened Harry’s Bar that year.
Harry Hood scored a hat-trick against Rangers in the Scottish League Cup semi-final on 5 December 1973. Moussa Dembele remains the only other player to achieve the same feat, scoring his hat-trick against Rangers on 10 September 2016.
Angels Hotel was recently named Best Bar in Scotland at the Scottish Entertainment Awards 2026.
Siobhan Edwards, daughter of Harry Hood, said on behalf of the family:
“It was a great honour and privilege to know that Sir Rod remembered our late father. He met our father and mother in France a few years before Dad passed away, and we have a wonderful photograph of Sir Rod with our father from that evening. Unfortunately my brother Nicky and I were in Spain sorting out our late mother Kathleen’s estate and were unable to be there in person, but Joanna Spencer, Operations Director at Lisini Pub Company Limited, represented the family on our behalf. We know Dad would have been deeply touched by Sir Rod’s gesture.”
Joanna Spencer, Operations Director at Lisini Pub Company Limited, added:
“It was a very special and emotional evening. Sir Rod has never visited Angels Hotel before, and it meant a great deal that he specifically wanted to come and see Harry Hood’s Angels Hotel. We were honoured to present him with the framed photograph on behalf of the Hood family.”
The framed photograph is now on display at Angels Hotel as a lasting tribute.
