Celtic fans have shown strong support as the club announced a complete sell-out of their ticket allocation for the pre-season friendly against Ayr United. This match is set for Friday, 5th July, marking Celtic’s first visit to Somerset Park in 25 years. The occasion is set to celebrate the opening of Ayr United’s new North Stand, adding further significance to the event.
Adding to the excitement is the chance to see Celtic legend, Scott Brown who is now at the helm of Ayr United. While the friendly will miss the presence of some of Celtic’s Scottish international players, it presents a valuable platform for the club’s emerging talents. Fans can expect to see a predominantly youthful side take the pitch, offering a glimpse into some players of the future. These young players will undoubtedly be eager to impress and make a mark.

This match also serves as the first opportunity for fans to see the team in action since their triumph over Rangers at Hampden Park, where Celtic clinched a 1-0 victory to secure the double.
The pre-season friendly promises to be more than just a warm-up game. It’s a night filled with nostalgia, celebration, and a preview of what’s to come for Celtic.
