Celtic have reacted to the announcement Everton will participate in November’s Sydney cup by taking a cheeky dig at Rangers.
Everton confirmed their participation in the four team tournament on Thursday evening and Celtic have been quick to post their delight. The Scottish Champions declared the tournament is now ‘bigger and better’.
During the World Cup in Qatar, Celtic will be heading to Sydney to play in the Sydney Cup.
It will be Ange Postecoglou vs Frank Lampard and the Hoops boss is looking forward to it.
Ange told the Celtic Website: “Everton is a fantastic football club with proper history and pedigree. I know they have a very good following in Australia so we really look forward to this match in November and the whole occasion of the Sydney Super Cup with Everton, Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers.
“Celtic enjoys such massive support globally and in Australia in particular and I know our fans there will be delighted to see the club play against a team from one of the world’s great Leagues, as part of the Super Cup.
“Personally I look forward to meeting Frank and his team and from our perspective it will be great to test ourselves against the quality of an EPL side.
“Celtic has enjoyed hugely successful visits to Australia across all the main cities and we know that this year’s Sydney Super Cup will represent a similar opportunity for us.
“We are sure the Sydney Super Cup will be a lot of fun for fans of all the teams involved and everyone at Celtic looks forward to a really positive event in Australia – one which will be great for Scottish, English and Australian football.”
The bhoys will be well into their league campaign by the time this trip comes around. The Bhoys will participate in the Champions League and League Cup before heading to Australia. Some Celtic players will be missing for the trip – guys likes Josip Juranovic and Kyogo will be out playing at the World Cup.
Rangers are dead.
