There are just five games left in Celtic's season. They will play four more times in the league even though they sealed the Premiership title at the weekend with a 5-0 win over Dundee United. Their next matchup is against the Rangers at Ibrox. No matter what the table looks like, the Glasgow Derby is always an important fixture. Also, there is the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen, winning which would mean another treble for the Hoops.
After that, there is another long summer. An opportunity for Celtic to improve their squad further. That could be especially important this time around as the Rangers look set to undergo a takeover by an American consortium, which could lead to greater investment.
It is also worth keeping an eye on pre-season. It looks like Newcastle United could be one of the teams that Celtic end up facing this summer.
As reported by The i Paper, Newcastle United have lined up a pre-season trip to Celtic Park in July. The Magpies are set to confirm the Parkhead date imminently.
Celtic announcement teased involving Newcastle United
If the pre-season friendly does indeed happen then it would be the first time that Newcastle United have played at Celtic Park since 2004. Of course, it is a fixture that Hoops fans will look forward to as well and it will be a great chance to get ready for the 25/26 season.
Of course, Newcastle United are managed by Eddie Howe, someone who was very close to becoming Celtic manager in the summer of 2021 before passing on the chance. It is safe to say that things have worked out quite well for him.
He became a Newcastle United legend recently by guiding them to major silverware after decades. On the other hand, it looks like the Magpies are in a good position to secure 25/26 UEFA Champions League qualification as well.
