Celtic Thrash Newcastle United 4-0 in Thrilling Pre-Season Clash
What a stunning afternoon at Celtic Park! If you missed it, you definitely missed something special. Celtic sent out a strong statement with a commanding 4-0 victory over Newcastle United in what turned out to be a one-sided pre-season showdown. The atmosphere was electric, the action nonstop, and the Celts were absolutely flying from start to finish.
This match, which was part of the inaugural adidas Trophy competition, marked the first meeting between these two clubs at Celtic Park since 2004—and it didn’t disappoint, at least not for the home side. More than 10,000 passionate Newcastle supporters traveled north for the game, but they witnessed a dominant Celtic display that will have fans buzzing with confidence heading into the new season.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe named a fairly strong starting eleven, featuring the likes of Nick Pope, Sven Botman, Bruno Guimarães (as captain), and young striker William Osula leading the line. Notably, star names like Alexander Isak and Joelinton were absent due to managed minutes, and new signing Anthony Elanga had to settle for a place on the bench.
Despite that, no one expected such a clinical and composed performance from Celtic. They were sharp in every area—defensively sound, composed in midfield, and lethal in attack. From the first whistle, they pressed high, moved the ball quickly, and exposed weaknesses in Newcastle's shape. Osula, though a promising talent, struggled to get involved thanks to Celtic’s disciplined backline.
Celtic's goals came with flair and precision. Whether it was a clever combination in the final third or a blistering counterattack, the Bhoys always looked like scoring. Newcastle, on the other hand, couldn’t find a rhythm and often found themselves chasing shadows. Even with the likes of Sandro Tonali, Anthony Gordon, and Elanga coming off the bench, the Magpies simply couldn’t turn the tide.
It was also a big day for Celtic fans watching live on pay-per-view via Celtic TV and for supporters worldwide catching the game through official channels. With this kind of form, there’s no doubt Celtic will be feeling good ahead of the competitive fixtures coming up. Meanwhile, for Newcastle, it’s back to the drawing board as they look to regroup before their Premier League opener.
Celtic’s emphatic win not only gave them the adidas Trophy but also reminded everyone why they’re Scottish champions. On the other side, Newcastle will need to take this defeat in stride, learn from it, and move forward.
All in all, an unforgettable day at Celtic Park—the Celts are well and truly here!
