The current season comes to a climactic end for Celtic this afternoon as the Bhoys take on Rangers in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden.
It has been a rollercoaster of a campaign but already, plans are being put in place for 2024/25.
Manchester United recently announced a friendly with a Celtic Legends team will take place during the first international break of next season while news surfaced that the Champions League’s fresh format could impact the Hoops’ schedule through some games being played on a Thursday.
Fans aren’t particularly keen on Thursday-Sunday football but that bridge will be crossed when it is come to. Even still, the Scottish champions’ fixtures in Europe next season have yet to be confirmed but one game set in stone is a clash with Scott Brown’s Ayr United.
The Bhoys will travel to the West Coast on Friday 5th July for an early start to the new campaign.
The match commemorates the opening of the Honest Men’s newly renovated North Stand.
Expected to be their first friendly of the new season, the strength of the Hoops team which lines up that night with the Euros still ongoing at the time remains to be seen.
Regardless, it should be a fine night out as Brown faces off against his old boss Brendan Rodgers in the dugout for the first time.
