DC United of Major League Soccer and Manchester City and Chelsea of the English Premier League have been named as Celtic’s opponents for their highly anticipated summer tour of the United States. The team managed by Brendan Rodgers was originally set to play Chelsea on July 27 at the storied Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana. They will now play the Treble winners of the previous season at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, South Carolina, four days sooner. They started the domestic tour by travelling to Washington, D.C., to play DC United at Audi Field. Callum McGregor, the captain of the Celtic Club and a Scotland international, stated: “We are excited to be travelling to Washington to play DC United, and we know this will be another fantastic sporting event.” Celtic has made a lot of fantastic trips to the US to play both MLS and European teams, and I have no doubt that we will have another terrific trip this summer.

Joe Gomez of Liverpool is also expected to be chosen for an England recall, making Jack Butland of Rangers not the only goalie on the edge of one. Due to his outstanding play at Rangers this season, the 31-year-old custodian from Ibrox is certain to be called up to the England squad for the first time in more than five years.A recall would be a great testimonial to the goalie’s form since joining the Rangers in the summer, since he has nine caps for the Three Lions in his career. However, it looks that Joe Gomez, who has been waiting four years for an England recall, will also receive recognition for his excellent play in addition to Jack Butland. At least that’s what Sky Sports is reporting, with sources indicating that the 26-year-old versatile Anfield defender will be making his first appearance on the pitch since October 2020.Joe Gomez, who appears to be Liverpool’s equivalent of Dujon Sterling, has appeared in four different places for the Premier League team this year. Although the defender is by trade a center-back, Jurgen Klopp has also utilised him as a defensive midfielder. The defender has also appeared at right and left back.

Brendan Rodgers has shuffled his pack since Celtic’s team has been decimated by injuries this season. The Bhoys have been without players like Reo Hatate, Cameron Carter-Vickers, and Callum McGregor lately, which is not ideal as it has left our available squad weak at a critical juncture in the season.Nevertheless, Rodgers has confirmed that Carter-Vickers will resume training this week in advance of our home match against St Johnstone, which gives us some encouraging news.Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to be that, said the Irishman. He worked with the medical staff after the scan, which went well, and on Thursday and Friday, he should be back with the training squad. Many Hoops fans will be relieved by this news, but if the Southend-born defender keeps getting injured at his current rate, there won’t be much cause for optimism given how frequently he has been sidelined.Naturally, this season has been erratic as Rodgers attempts to lead his team to a domestic double; yet, we still have nine league games and a Scottish Cup semifinal left to secure our spot in the championship game for the 2023–2024 season. John Hartson discusses Reo Hatate’s Celtic comeback. In addition, Rodgers recently provided some information about Hatate’s possible comeback to the Celtic starting lineup, saying, “Reo is progressing well.” We’re expecting that he will be with the squad following the international break because he is currently working out on the pitch.John Hartson, a basketball legend, is likewise thrilled about Hatate’s potential return to the team. The 26-year-old should, in the opinion of the former Wales international, get some significant playing time before our travel to Ibrox to play Rangers next month.

Alan Brazil, a Celtic fan, used the occasion to make fun of Rangers great Ally McCoist on the current Scottish Premiership title contest. Brazil bragged that Celtic is going to win the league for the third time in a row, even though Rangers is ahead of them by two points. Live on air, Brazil and Ally McCoy, a former champion jockey, engaged in a lively conversation during which they exchanged friendly barbs. The two made their remarks during a heated championship race in which Rangers, managed by Philippe Clement, emerged victorious.Taking advantage of the occasion to make a lighthearted comment, McCoy said of Celtic’s recent wins over Rangers that “it was getting a bit boring beating Rangers all the time,” implying that he wanted more competition. When McCoist questioned if his Celtic teammates still believed in their team’s chances of winning the championship, Brazil firmly responded, “No, no, no, the league’s over.” The league is over, as I have previously stated. We’ll defeat you both at Parkhead and Ibrox. Brazil has made a significant prediction, and hoops fans will undoubtedly be praying it comes to pass. Even still, it’s difficult to dismiss Celtic’s current issues, which undoubtedly don’t work to their benefit. GET MORE RELATED CONTENT ON SPORTWORDS.CO.UK
Recently, Celtic’s B team has performed to an impressive degree that has drawn attention from both spectators and supporters, especially after overcoming a difficult time in the Lowland League. The squad has bounced back after a slow start that saw them underachieve and go over a hard patch, going on a five-game winning streak that includes big wins like a 2-1 triumph over Tranent Rovers and a commanding 7-0 thumping of Civil Service Strollers.With this remarkable comeback, Celtic’s B squad is now ranked sixth in the league, giving rise to some confidence about the young players coming through Park Head’s ranks. The B team’s recent performances have made fans nostalgic for the impact of Angeball in the young setup, in contrast to the first team’s troubles this season with quick transitions. Albion Rovers manager Sandy Clark has professed love for Celtic’s B team’s style of play. He told the Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser, “I’ve watched Celtic’s B team a few times because I really like the way they play.” It will be a challenging match because they are extremely athletic and skilled at their transitions. Albion Rovers and Celtic play on Saturday. GET MORE RELATED CONTENT ON SPORTWORDS.CO.UK
This season, Ipswich Town has surprised everyone in the league by competing for promotion to the Premier League with the best teams in the Championship.This is unexpected given that the Tractor Boys only made it to the second division last year following an incredible season in which they finished second in League One under manager Keiran McKenna. In his first managerial position, the former Manchester United coach has made an impression, pushing Ipswich into a battle for the second automatic promotion spot.Even though he faces competition from Southampton and Leeds United, his team is well-positioned to earn promotion this year, and in August, we might see Ipswich play in the Premier League. At the beginning of the season, this would have been unheard of, but under McKenna, the Tractor Boys have looked good enough to reach the summit.Fans should be satisfied with the value they are receiving from their local team, considering the price they pay for a season ticket at Portman Road.

More than £13,000 has been raised for the family of a teenage Rangers supporter who passed away in Lisbon during the team’s Europa League match against Benfica. On March 7, Thomas McAllister, sometimes known as Tam, fell off a chair in a hotel and was pronounced dead. The 25-year-old had gone to the Portuguese city with friends in order to cheer on his favourite football team, Ibrox.The young Drumchapel father of two had taken social media photos with friends just hours before the disaster. He seemed to be in a good mood before his team played to a 2-2 tie.Since then, close friend Andrew Johnston has organised a fundraising for Tam’s family and expressed gratitude to well-wishers for their kind contributions. Within a day, more than £13,000 was raised. GET MORE RELATED CONTENT ON SPORTWORDS.CO.UK
Despite playing the entire match against Livingston this afternoon, Celtic playmaker Matt O’Riley was sick all week, according to Brendan Rodgers.O’Riley, who seldom misses a Celtic game, overcame his illness, and the fact that Rodgers didn’t bring it up prior to the match demonstrates the high expectations the Danish midfielder has of himself.“The players deserve credit for that; some of them haven’t played a lot,” Aaron Rodgers stated (The Herald). Rodgers said: (The Herald), “The players deserve credit for that, some of them haven’t played a lot.“Matt O’Riley wasn’t well all week, Stephen Welsh […]
Celtic said on Wednesday that at the end of the current campaign, Parkhead would host a legends game between the Hoops and Borussia Dortmund. Despite rumours of a possible conflict, the game is being held to benefit the Celtic FC Foundation and the Dundee Cancer Centre at Ninewells Hospital in memory of Scott Brown’s late sister Fiona.In fact, the charity game is slated to take place on Sunday, May 26, 2024—the same day as the Scottish Women’s Cup Final. Celtic, who play Montrose in the quarterfinals this weekend, has reasonable hopes of making it there.The Hoops faced the Rangers in the competition’s championship game the previous year. The players and supporters at Hampden made history on that day when the Celts defeated the Cowboys 2-0 to win back-to-back Scottish Cups. That day, almost 10,000 supporters supported the sides; nevertheless, if Celtic advances to the final once more, a crowd of that size might not be anticipated. It goes without saying that fans will be more engaged in the game at Parkhead.As a result, Elena Sadiku and her players will be disregarded without their own fault. Although the women haven’t yet guaranteed a spot in the final, maybe the legends encounter may have taken place on a different weekend.But if they do, a problem will occur and Celtic supporters will have to decide which game to go to.

Joao Araujo, a former Rangers analyst, is skilled at hurting them. Furthermore, Benfica now has the success formula thanks to the Portuguese.For the first leg of their Europa League last-16 matchup with the two-time European champions, Philippe Clement and his team are in Lisbon. Even though the hosts have players worth tens of millions, they are not in a good spot domestically, and the Light Blues are ready to try to put further pressure on them. They will welcome under pressure Roger Schmidt and his team to Ibrox for the second installment next week.Having been a member of Michael Beale’s backroom crew the previous season, Araujo is well-versed on the Rangers roster. In order to help his old team get to the quarterfinals, the former Benfica star has been giving his knowledge and experience to them. He has identified the Liga Portugal team’s points of joy when playing their Scottish rivals.He informed A Bola that “rangers have a huge size.” “As far as sports go, they are a 4x3x3 squad that can play with one player further back and two inside players in the midfield triangle, or they can have a double defensive pivot.The defensive line is formidable in duels, although Benfica may exploit some of the space that usually exists at the back by playing to depth. The Rangers are a side that prioritises direct play and is quite aggressive. Even though I’m no longer with the team, I am aware of this coach’s severe pragmatism and heavy reliance on direct play in strategy. Benfica has to win the first leg at Luz, particularly given a lot of challenges are anticipated for the second game at Ibrox.”The stadium is always packed, exudes an extremely passionate atmosphere, and the Rangers greatly benefit from the support of their supporters. Benfica meets the requirements to advance, but again, they need to win the first game in order to do so. GET MORE RELATED CONTENT ON SPORTWORDS.CO.UK
Alexandro Bernabei, a £4 million left-back who is poised to sign with Brazilian team Internacional, is returning to South America, and Celtic has been informed that they are making the right decision in sending him back. HITC Football is aware that Celtic’s rarely seen Argentine has flown across the Atlantic in pursuit of an initial loan move away from Parkhead, with today marking the last day of the Brazilian transfer season. Brendan Rodgers does not have Alexandro Bernabei in his long-term plans. And even though there isn’t enough cover at left back, Celtic will not let Bernabei get away with it since they need the money to sign Caoimhin Kelleher, the Liverpool star who is their top choice to succeed the retiring Joe Hart. When Alexandro Bernabei leaves Celtic The Celtics-supporting former Dundee, St. Mirren, and Hibernian midfielder, McGinn, says on Go Football Radio, “I’m probably happy that he is going.”Why Do Football Logos Look So Same Anymore?Brendan Rodgers does not have Alexandro Bernabei in his long-term plans. And even though there isn’t enough cover at left back, Celtic will not let Bernabei get away with it since they need the money to sign Caoimhin Kelleher, the Liverpool star who is their top choice to succeed the retiring Joe Hart. Celtic vs. Legia Warsaw: Pre-season friendly When Alexandro Bernabei leaves Celtic The Celtics-supporting former Dundee, St. Mirren, and Hibernian midfielder, McGinn, says on Go Football Radio, “I’m probably happy that he is going.” “When I look at Alexandro Bernabei—and I know this sounds harsh—but I looked at the left back prospects they have. And you start by examining the size. You notice his size right away and assume that he is extremely little for a defender. You then assume that he must possess exceptional ball skills. He is, however, incredibly erratic with the ball. He has good crosses and bad crosses at different times. In the games he’s recently played for Celtic, he frequently has possession of the ball when it breaks down. In contrast to fellow left-back Greg Taylor, Bernabei lacks technical ability, which has further damaged his hopes of playing more regularly given that Rodgers’ team typically dominates the ball against a deep block domestically. McGinn has expressed concerns about the £4 million signing’s defensive awareness. Even Celtic great John Hartson called Bernabei a “disgrace” after Kilmarnock stole a late equaliser against the Glasgow giants. And Liel Abada is heading out of Parkhead.He moves quickly, but not very quickly. McGinn continues, “He can’t defend his back post and he’s not good in the air as we’ve seen with the goal he lost recently,” suggesting that Bernabei’s departure will help an 18-year-old Scotland youth star. “You look at men like Mitchel Frame inside the building. He must possess qualities more appropriate for a Celtics player, right? I anticipate that Liam Scales, Mitchel Frame, or Anthony Ralston will be deployed as cover.Liel Abada is also expected to depart Celtic, as far as HITC Football is aware. […]
Following his selection as captain for the upcoming Celtic Foundation Legends match against Borussia Dortmund, Scott Brown has responded. When the teams play in May to generate money for the club’s philanthropic wing, the manager of Ayr United will once again don the Hoops on the pitch at Paradise. In an interview with the Celtic website, Brown discussed what it will mean to play for Celtic once more as well as the gift that will be made in memory of Scott’s late sister Fiona Brown to the Dundee Cancer Centre at Ninewell in Dundee. “My family and I will be thrilled to return to Celtic as the Legends side’s captain. It goes without saying that I spent a significant portion of my career at the team and have many amazing experiences there, so it will be extra meaningful to wear the shirt once more.It will be amazing to line up with so many of your old teammates and other legendary Celtics. “I would like to thank the Foundation and all of the fans in advance for their support. I am also incredibly honoured that a donation will be made in Fiona’s honour. It means a lot to my family.”In a record deal, Brown left Hibs in the summer of 2007 to sign with Celtic. In his 620 club appearances, the commanding midfielder would score 46 goals and win 22 championships with the Green and White Hoops. GET MORE RELATED CONTENT ON SPORTWORDS.CO.UK
Before their Europa League round of 16 matchup with Rangers, Benfica is “riddled with weaknesses.” Journalist Stephen McGowan claims as much, with the first leg scheduled for this Thursday, March 7, in Portugal.Rangers will play the second leg at Ibrox on March 14 and go to the knockout stages after winning their group.For the Scottish Daily Mail, McGowan stated, “Benfica are a team riddled with weaknesses despite a turnover of £167 million – almost exactly double the Rangers figure of £84 million” (page 69, 6 March). The Ibrox team has a history of taking advantage of their European rivals’ unrest, and a 5-0 loss to Porto over the weekend has put head coach Roger Schmidt under a lot of strain. “The Portuguese champions have been lacklustre in Europe, despite bringing in Argentine World Cup winner Angel Di Maria for a second stint and having two exceptional players in 20-year-old Portuguese international central defender Antonio Silva and 19-year-old midfielder Joao Neves.They were defeated by Real Sociedad and Inter Milan in their Champions League group, having lost their opening four games. They also survived a close match against Toulouse, a French midtable team, in the Europa League play-off round. In the Europa League, can Rangers defeat Benfica? Benfica has undoubtedly had a difficult season in Europe, but they still have a chance to win something because to their tenacity and strong team.The Champions League trophy will obviously disappoint them, but the Europa League trophy would still represent a tremendous accomplishment for the Portuguese team.But the Gers are in their way, and considering how they won a tough Group C, they should be quietly confident.The Ibrox team nearly didn’t get it to the following round, but an incredible series of circumstances allowed them to secure first place. However, Philippe Clement’s team enters the match fresh off a heartbreaking 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory at Ibrox on Saturday (2 March) over Motherwell.Neither team wants to lose in Portugal on Thursday night, especially after Benfica also dropped their match over the weekend. In other Rangers news, following their performance in the Scottish Youth Cup, the team has a bright future ahead of them. GET MORE RELATED CONTENT ON SPORTWORDS.CO.UK
