Celtic 'set' for Cork summer friendly as part of 2025/26 pre-season

Celtic Cork Brendan Rodgers Aberdeen (Organization)

Celtic are set to take on Cork this summer in a pre-season friendly, according to reports.

Brendan Rodgers will take his side across the Irish Sea on Tuesday, July 8, to face the League of Ireland Premier Division side in a one-off game, reports the Irish Mirror.

The match will be held at the 45,000-capacity Páirc Uí Chaoimh, the home of Cork GAA.

Confirmation of the tie is reportedly 'imminent', with Celtic returning to Ireland after previous clashes with Sligo Rovers and Wolverhampton Wanderers in recent years.

It will be one of their first pre-season friendlies of 2025/26, with the Scottish Premiership campaign due to begin on August 2.

The current term isn't even out yet, though, with Rodgers' men still fiercely competing to win a domestic treble.

They could extend their lead over city rivals Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership to 16 points tonight with a win over Aberdeen.
