Back on the Road

We are back on the road on today as we head off on our first away day of the season to Cork for Celtic’s second pre-season friendly of the season. Friendly games are not for everyone but there does seem to be plenty of interest in this one and Celtic fans are already in the Rebel County enjoying the local hospitality.

For fans not travelling the game will be shown live on Celtic TV. The game kicks off at the unusual time of 6pm. Celtic kicked off the season with a 1-0 win over Queens Park on Friday on what was a sad day for the Celtic family with the funeral of Celtic Legend John Clarke taking place earlier in the day.

We are still in the middle of Summer music festivals and large outdoor concerts planned over the next few months. It has been bands like Kneecap and Oasis who have been hitting the headlines with the World Club championships not really capturing the imagination of the public. The Man City supporting Gallagher brothers have even been the inspiration for the latest cover of the Celtic View.

Staying on a Manchester theme the Celtic FC Foundation have announced a Legends game between Man United and Celtic at Celtic Park The match will take place over the international break on Saturday, September 6, 2025, KO is 2pm

Celtic have been working quietly over the summer months and have signed a number of players while Scott Bain and Greg Taylor have left the club with a few others lined up for farewell social media messages. In so far are  Kierian Tierney, Ross Doohan, Benjamin Nygren, Callum Osmand and Hayato Inamura.

I am sure I will bump into some of our readers in Cork. Safe travels to all. We’re on the road again and no doubt the conversation of those travelling will be based around the latest signing at Celtic.
