SEASON 2025/26
FRIENDLY
VENUE: CELTIC PARK
CELTIC 4 NEWCASTLE UNITED 0
Scorers: Engels, Kenny, Yang, Scales
My first match of season 2025/26 which is my 45th year of attending football and following Celtic FC. We were sitting in the main stand for a change which although over 50 years old and by far the oldest part of Celtic Park, the upper part offers the best pitch views in the ground.
This pre-season game was billed as a challenge match between the winners of the Scottish and English League Cups attracted a large crowd of over 45,000 with nearly 10,000 away fans to give it a great atmosphere with a bit of needle.
