Newcastle United away end's reaction to Celtic goal said it all amid Isak twist - 5 things
GLASGOW CITY, SCOTLAND, JUL 19 – Newcastle's defensive errors and unsettled squad amid transfer speculation led to a 4-0 defeat against Celtic, with 10,000 fans attending the match at Celtic Park, officials said.
On 19 July 2025, Newcastle United suffered a 4-0 defeat against Celtic at Celtic Park, marking their first pre-season friendly of the summer.
In a shaky backline, as Nick Pope failed to save the spot-kick that opened the scoring, Joe Willock conceded a penalty after fouling Johnny Kenny, and Alexander Isak was absent from the squad.
Arne Engels scored a penalty, Johnny Kenny doubled Celtic's lead after an error from Nick Pope, and Liam Scales headed in a 75th-minute goal.
The traveling contingent of Newcastle United fans cheered loudly, while some supporters left early amid 'Cheerio' chants from home supporters.
Next week, Newcastle will travel to Singapore for a friendly against Arsenal, while Celtic prepare for their league opener against St. Mirren.
