City test for Celtic

Mon 29 Jun, 03:02 PM


Celtic have announced they will face Manchester City in a pre-season friendly.

Tony Mowbray's side will travel to the City of Manchester Stadium for the clash with the Barclays Premier League side on August 8.

The game will follow Celtic's pre-season trip to Australia, a friendly with Cardiff, their games in the Wembley Cup and the first home game of the new season against Sunderland.

This is also the second consecutive year that the Glasgow giants have played City in a pre-season friendly, with the Blues visiting Parkhead last August and being held to a 1-1 draw by a youthful Celtic side.

Mark Hughes' men will also play Rangers this summer when they travel to Ibrox on August 4 or 5.

  1. ENGLISH BAM In the jungle as a non old firm fan,If the­ celtic fans were as bad as you would have everyone­ believe,how did you manage to get away unscathed?Are­ you Mark Walters,I think not, The man himself has­ probably put the matter out of his mind. The whole­ world has moved on regarding racism. It is people like­ you who are stuck in the past,that continue to make­ racism a problem. At the risk of becoming repetative,­ Try banging a different drum,the rest of us have got­ over it!

    HAIL HAIL!

  2. If you had read before, then at no point did I say it­ was ok, and at no point did I condone it. I also said­ that we didn't make out we were Angels, but UEFA­ had said we were the Best fans - It was their­ Statement, not Mine. But if you are digging up an­ incident from the Eighties, then try and remember that­ we were by no means the worst... As I said before that­ his worst treatment was at Tynecastlegreyskull and­ I'm sure even Rangers fans would acknowledge that.­ It was a shameful incident, but the Celtic fans at­ least looked at the incident and changed our ways -­ That is why we get accolades now. When we Signed big­ Paul Elliot, he received some harsh abuse at Ibrox and­ Tynecastle too, but he was a great player for us... So­ too big Pierre, who went on to be heroes at Celtic­ Park... We put the Walters thing way behind us...
    My­ point to you, is that Rangers in Israel, Rangers in­ Spain (Twice), Rangers in Manchester, are all in the­ last 5 Years and all you can speak about is how the­ Celtic Fans are Racist on the strength of an incident­ that happened something like 23 years ago...
    Surely the­ incident in Israel with Rangers fans giving Nazi­ Salutes is more topical no? (Even though for some­ reason some had flown a Star of David - Don't­ Figure).
    To resort to something that happened so long­ ago, surely you can see that your argument that we are­ 'bad fans' is severely flawed....
    So why are­ you not stating who your team is?

  3. i was there that day as a non old firm fan and i was in­ the jungle what a @#$% hole that was. anyway walters­ getting abuse from the tims at parkhead happened more­ than once and are you saying because it happened over­ 20 years that makes it ok. my point is that the celtic­ fans make out that they are angels who never cause­ trouble and that they are the greatest fans in the­ world and everybody loves them the world over if you­ think that then you are living in denial/ENGLISH SAM

  4. I'm kiddin' no-one - I was there - Where­ you?
    English fans are by far the worst in the world,­ internationally... And rather than being something like­ 20 odd years ago, they are still racist nowadays. As­ far as I'm concerned - And I know Metz will put a­ good argument against it stating that it is a minority,­ In recent years, Rangers 'fans' have not­ covered themselves in glory...
    These are all present­ incidents - Not nearly quarter of a Century­ ago...
    Celtic Fans where voted the best by UEFA in­ 2004, so it's not just us saying it...
    Anyway,­ answer the question, which team do you support that is­ so way above all this Racism, Sectarianism and­ Antagonism?

  5. point 59 dont kid yourself. it was more than a handful­ of bananas it was hundreds along with the monkey­ chants/ENGLISH SAM

    From john, on Wed 1 Jul 2:46PM
  6. point 56 shitbet you say it was a long time ago does­ that make it alright then. maybe you filthy tim rats­ would like everybody to forget what happened that day­ after all you want everybody to think you are the­ greatest fans in the world/ENGLISH SAM

  7. For the SPL to be so bad and Celtic, and yes Rangers­ too, to be supposed to be so bad, I might remind you­ that Celtic Beat Liverpool on the way to the UEFA cup a­ while back, and even though we had a poor away record,­ we beat Man united, Barcelona, Juventus all at home and­ came close to beating Man utd and AC Milan away - not­ bad for a team with relatively no money compared to the­ sassanachs...
    As for you Sam, yet again more pish­ spouts forth... The English are hardly covered in glory­ when it comes to racism... You not remember the­ treatment John Barnes got from HIS OWN SUPPORTERS when­ playing for England? I was attending games regular when­ Mark Walters played - At Celtic Park it was a handful­ who threw the bananas - Not an excuse I know - And not­ a shining moment at all, I concede that... But the­ worse treatment he received was at Tynecastle where a­ whole stand virtually depleted the stocks of Fyffes!­ Celtic where by no means the worst - But lets be honest­ here, it was all over Scotland and England at the time­ at most clubs. Let us in on which team you support -­ I'm guessing Chelsea with more than a passing­ adoration of the Uruk Hai at Greyskull?

  8. GOOD NEWS .RANGERS AND CELTIC ARE TO BE ALLOWED INTO­ THE ENGLISH LEAGUES . BOTH IN LEAGUE 2 AND IF THEY DONT­ GET RELEGATED THEY CAN STAY . BUT PERSONALY I DONT­ THINK THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO BEAT LINCOLN OR HEREFORD.­ SO THEY MIGHT GET A 10 POINT HEADSTART

  9. So I see Paul G is still making cr4.p up and talking­ utter sh17 while I've been away.

  11. im sure all you tims will enjoy your day out at­ manchester they have lots of black players so you buy­ your bananas at the local fruit and veg shop and show­ everybody why you are the greatest fans in the­ world.why has no tim ever came on this site and said­ they were ashamed about what happened to mark walters­ that day this wasnt 1 or 2 bananas this was hundreds­ from every part of the ground not just that @#$% hole­ the jungle/ENGLISH SAM

  12. Paulgardner&sirsteve,two examples of what happens­ when you let your dad s*ag your sister,you pair of­ inarticulate,bigoted,vile spewing excuses for­ "football" fans.Get a life,or at least have­ something of note to say,rather than the pish you two­ talking
