Newcastle United are set to kick off their 2025-26 tune-up tour this Saturday with a trip to Celtic Park — better known as Paradise—for a pre-season showdown against Scottish giants Celtic.
The Magpies have a jam-packed pre-season schedule on their hands, with six friendlies lined up as they look to shake off the rust and hit the ground running. Meanwhile, Celtic are already knee-deep in competitive action, nearing the tail end of their Scottish Premiership warm-up phase with four matches in the bag and only two more to go.
Newcastle’s eyes are fixed on their Premier League opener against Aston Villa on August 16, while Celtic’s title defense begins a bit sooner, as they welcome St Mirren on August 3. Both sides are revving up their engines—but Celtic’s already halfway down the runway.
