Athletic will face Celtic on August 1. The match against the Scottish League champions will be played at Celtic Park and is part of the actions for the rojiblanca entity’s 125th anniversary. The local team will seize the opportunity to honor James Forrest, who will complete his fifteenth season at the club. A true example of the One Club Man.
The appointment against Glasgow is the third announced by Ibaigane. On July 16, they will face Chivas in the Mexican city of Guadalajara in the second leg of the Gernika Tree Trophy (2-0 in the first leg played in San Mamés in December) and on July 19 against Necaxa in Aguascalientes.
Celtic have finished the Scottish Premiership in first place with a huge distance of thirteen to second, their neighbors Glasgow Rangers, and the Cup final against Inverness is pending on Saturday June 3.
This is the second time Athletic and Celtic have met. The first was in the old San Mamés in a friendly organized in favor of the Biscayan grassroots in March 2011 (0-0).
