Celtic v Athletico Madrid - Oriel Park - Monday 3rd August150 dni temu
 
Club Atlético de Madrid B and Celtic have been confirmed for an exciting feast of football at Oriel Park on the bank holiday weekend in August. Atlético will be the first to visit, on 1 August, when they face Dundalk, and Los Colchoneros will stay in town for another game against Celtic two days later.“They’re two really good friendlies that I’m really pleased about,” Dundalk manager Sean Connor commented to dundalkfc.com. “I think it’s two good games for the Dundalk fans to watch. I spoke to Neil Lennon at the weekend and he was really happy about the game as well, so hopefully both games will go well. There’s no doubt about it, we need decent crowds to make a bit of money, because there are costs attached to it, flying the teams over and putting them up in hotels, so there’s fairly heavy costs attached to it. “We need the support of the Dundalk public,” he added. “We have tried dates when there’s not a lot happening. We have only one league game at home in August so hopefully people will come in and support them. Celtic were very, very pleased last time and that has helped to get them back this time, and I’m working all the time to try to get a Celtic first team. The problem there at the minute is that the Celtic first team can make anything up to a couple of hundred thousand pound for playing a game in different places all over the world. “We’re not in that situation, so we have to try to make it attractive in other ways, in terms of how we look after them and they know that they’re going to come and play in front of a decent crowd. That was commented on the last time, the crowd was bigger than they thought, so that’s a positive. Hopefully we’ll get the word out there, not just to Dundalk fans, but Celtic fans and maybe general football fans who would like to see Atlético Madrid play. I think it’s a good opportunity.” Due to the Lilywhites’ busy league schedule, which may see them having to squeeze in a game against Saint Patrick’s Athletic should Jeff Kenna’s men progress in the UEFA Europa League, they will not have time to complete a triangular tournament with a game against the Scottish giants.

However, Dundalk will have a second friendly next month against FC Barcelona, a date for which has yet to be confirmed. Dundalk have already faced Celtic this year, back in March when the Hoops won 3-1 at Oriel. The visit of Atlético will be a first for the Louth club, though, as they have never welcomed a Spanish team to the border venue despite their many appearances on the European stage.

Future stars
Atlético’s first team, which features international stars such as Sergio Agüero, Simão, Diego Forlán, John Heitinga, Maxi Rodríguez and Tomáš Ujfaluši, will be involved in the Emirates Cup in London on the same weekend when they face Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. However, their B promises to have just as many future stars on show as they have in the past produced world class players like Fernando Torres, Raúl González, Rubén Baraja and João Pinto. Ticket prices for both games will be the same as a normal Category A league match and bookings are now being taken at Oriel Park, telephone 042-9335894. Further details of the Barcelona friendly will be announced at a later date.

Confirmed friendlies:
Dundalk v Club Atlético de Madrid, Saturday 1 August, Oriel Park (kick-off TBC)
Club Atlético de Madrid v Celtic, Monday 3 August, Oriel Park (kick-off TBC)

Glen Loovens Ready for Action485 dni temu
 
GLENN LOOVENS has revealed that words of encouragement from past and present Celtic players sold him on a move to Glasgow. Upon first hearing of the club’s interest in signing him, Dutch defender Loovens spoke to two compatriots in current Celt Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and former Hoops striker Pierre van Hooijdonk. And Loovens admits the glowing references he received from both men helped him decide that Celtic were the right club for him. “I spoke to a few people about Celtic and all the stories I heard were positive,” said Loovens, as he showed off the new Nike Celtic home strip, which is launched at midnight on Wednesday. “I spoke to Jan and also to Pierre. They told me a few stories about the club and everything I heard was great. I can’t wait to get started. “I only expect the best from this club. Rangers were interested in me, but in the end Celtic were the club I wanted to sign for. Let’s focus on that. “I’m coming to Celtic and I want to play games. I want to give the manager a selection problem. “This is a big step up for me. I will be competing for trophies and I will be playing in the Champions League. I see this as a big step forward in my career.”

McGeady Signs New Deal517 dni temu
 
CELTIC are delighted to announce that Aiden McGeady has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new five-year contract. McGeady was voted Scotland’s Player of the Year by his fellow professionals last season and his form throughout the campaign helped Celtic win their third league title in a row and reach the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League for a second consecutive season. And the news that McGeady has signed a new five-year contract will delight Celtic supporters, who voted him their Player of the Year at the club's annual awards dinner last night (Wednesday, July 16). Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: “This is wonderful news for the club and our supporters. “Aiden's performances in recent seasons have made him the outstanding player in Scottish football and clearly we are delighted that he has committed his long-term future to the club.

“Our priority has always been to try and keep our best players at the club and the Board is delighted to support Gordon in his plans for the future by securing Aiden on this long-term agreement. "It is particularly satisfying that Aiden has become such a success having come through the ranks of our youth development programme. “While he himself deserves immense praise for all he has done, he is also a real tribute to all those people who have assisted his development including, of course, the great Tommy Burns. “With Scotland's Player of the Year in Aiden McGeady and the SPL's Top scorer Scott McDonald having now agreed new extended contracts, we are delighted that we have secured the services of two of the finest players in Scotland.

Samaras Pens New Deal520 dni temu
 
CELTIC Football Club can confirm that centre-forward, Georgios Samaras, has signed a three-year contract with the Scottish champions. The Greek internationalist put pen-to-paper on a new contract, having made 21 appearances and scoring six goals, including five vital championship counters, in a four-month loan spell last season.

That contribution ultimately played a significant part in Celtic’s third successive championship success under manager, Gordon Strachan and as Samaras explained, made Celtic his ‘first choice’ on leaving Manchester City. “I am really happy with this move and I think both sides are really happy,” Samaras told celticfc.net. “I wanted to stay here, Celtic wanted to keep me here and both sides are happy with this transfer. “Last season was four really enjoyable months for me and a great experience for me to play in both the Scottish Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

“I think we finished in the best possible way, winning the championship and I am really proud of what we achieved. “It was the best moment in my career so far,” added Samaras, “and I am really happy that I have signed here and I hope that more good moments come for both me and the club.”

SCOTLAND’S top goalscorer Scott McDonald has signed a new five-year contract with Celtic. The Australian striker has been a tremendous success in his first season at the club, netting 31 goals for the Hoops to help Gordon Strachan’s side make it three-in-a-row. And Celtic are delighted that the 24-year-old forward has committed his long-term future to the Scottish Champions.

Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: “This is great news for Celtic. It is well known that Scott loves playing for Celtic and he has a great affection for the club. He is also someone who performed brilliantly for Celtic last season. “Our priority is always to keep our best and most committed players and the Board is delighted to support Gordon in his plans for the future by securing Scott on this long-term agreement. “We will continue to do all we can to ensure that Celtic stays at the top of Scottish football.”

Tommy Burns - RIP - YNWA582 dni temu
 
Celtic legend Tommy Burns has died at the age of 51 after losing his long-running battle against cancer. Burns had been undergoing treatment in both Glasgow and France in recent weeks after being diagnosed in March of this year. In 2006, the former Scotland midfielder was treated for skin cancer but it returned two years later. He played for Celtic from 1974 to 1989 and was the club's first-team coach before being granted leave. A statement from Celtic said: "Tommy, a true Celtic Legend and wonderful man will be sadly missed by us all. Clearly, our thoughts are very much with Tommy's wife Rosemary and his family at this extremely difficult time."
