HT: Celtic 2-0 Newcastle United Poor first half from Newcastle, gifting two goals to Celtic. Not the day for Nick Pope to make a brutal goalkeeping error. Bruno Guimaraes playing on his own.
📆 Our home fixture against Arsenal in September has been moved after being selected for live TV broadcast in the UK.
🚨Newcastle United have appointed Sudarshan Gopaladesikan as Technical Director. The former Atalanta Director of Football Intelligence will report to the club's new (TBC) sporting director.
Eddie Howe admitted he made the decision to 'send home' Alexander Isak amid speculation surrounding his future. He later confirmed that the striker will 'absolutely' travel to Asia and be a Newcastle player come the start of the season. Full story 👇 shieldsgazette.com/sport/football…
Eddie Howe confirms Alexander Isak didn't make the trip to Celtic due to the speculation surrounding his future. Said it 'wasn't fair' to have the player sitting in the stands. The Newcastle boss expects Isak to make the trip to Asia for the matches against Arsenal and Spurs.
Goal. Celtic 4-0 Nowt like some pre-season head-loss to sharpen minds. This is woeful from NUFC.
In a game of little quality so far, Bruno Guimaraes has been a class above for Newcastle United. Celtic still lead 1-0.
