Celtic FC Festival for supporters to be held in Glasgow this summer

Celtic will hold a massive fan festival this summer in Glasgow.

In what will be a first-ever for the club, the 'Celtic FC Festival' is set to be held at the city's Scottish Event Campus (SEC) over three days in July.

The Hoops, who beat Old Firm rivals Rangers on Sunday, have promised an "unprecedented celebration".

The Scottish Premiership champions insist the event will raise the bar for supporter engagement and will feature a range of activities including a crossbar challenge, interactive history walks and an exclusive launch of the club's third kit for next season.

The festival is expected to cover more than 20,000 sq/m, and will even host a football pitch where youngsters can be put through their paces by Hoops academy coaches.

The weekend-long exhibition is being staged in conjunction with Glasgow-based PSP Media Group and will run from July 26-28.

A club statement read: "Once again, Celtic Football Club is showing itself to be a club like no other, leading the way with the creation of a world-class exhibition event that promises to raise the bar in fan engagement.

"The inaugural Celtic FC Festival, taking place from July 26-28, will see Paradise descend upon the SEC in Glasgow for an unprecedented celebration of the cub.

"The Celtic FC Festival will be massive, taking up all 20,000sq/m of exhibition space the SEC has to offer, and will be a great day out for all the family. From the moment fans enter the Celtic FC Festival, they will be entering into the wonderful world of Celtic.

"Moving through the space, fans will be met by lots of fantastic football activities, such as free-kick, penalty-kick and crossbar challenges, along with other fun elements such as head tennis and football darts, to name a few. The hall will be filled with great interaction for all.

"Not only will the world’s biggest Celtic superstore have all the new season 2019/20 kits, it will also host the official and exclusive launch of the new third kit. In addition, fans will be entertained by on-going fashion shows, showcasing all the new kits, training gear and much, much more."
