"Travelling to Glasgow, to face Celtic, is a great opportunity to test ourselves as we gear up for Premier League and European football next season," said Eddie Howe.

"We'll face a top team at an historic ground, with a big away crowd there to support us."

Our last pre-season match at Celtic Park was under Sir Bobby Robson in 2004. Back on Tyneside, Celtic were our guests for Alan Shearer's testimonial match on Tyneside in 2006, and we met for a pre-season fixture the following summer at St. James' Park.

We last visited Glasgow in summer 2023, beating Rangers 2-1 in front of a capacity crowd at Ibrox before travelling to the United States for the Premier League Summer Series.
