Eddie Howe makes Newcastle confession after Celtic loss
The manager of the Premier League side accepted that his side were well beaten by Celtic as he cited the difference in fitness levels on display. Howe suggested his players had entered the match 'slightly jaded' after a training camp in Austria before the 4-0 loss at Celtic Park. Eddie Howe reflects on this afternoon's pre-season friendly in Glasgow. 🗣️ — Newcastle United (@NUFC) July 19, 2025 Despite the heavy defeat, Howe hailed the pre-season friendly as a worthwhile exercise as he saluted Celtic's performance. "We take a load from that. That was a really good test for us," he told Newcastle club media. "This was a test that maybe came a little bit too early for us. "We've had a long week in Austria. Not making excuses by the way but the lads came into the game jaded, slightly. "It was a great workout for us. I think Celtic played very well. "I thought we played well in phases of the game, we created chances and should have scored a couple of goals. "Overall, I think the team will be better for the game." Read more: Howe then suggested his side did "hold their own" in the fixture despite the scoreline. He added: "They are way ahead of us fitness-wise. It's a really useful lesson for us to learn because we usually do that to other teams. "The power of our fitness usually shows in our performances, today it was the other way round. "Other than four wasn't a game where we were consistenly under pressure. We more than held our own but defended those moments poorly."

Newcastle remove scene which may ‘inadvertently cause offence' from kit launch video
Newcastle United removed a scene from the launch video promoting their new third kit due to it briefly displaying a version of the Japanese imperialist flag. The club were promoting their new blue and orange third kit for 2025-26 on Tuesday, with a version of the flag appearing briefly in Newcastle's black-and-white colours, alongside a club crest and 'NUFC Japan' in its centre. Advertisement The video included a Newcastle supporter who had been flown in from Japan for the kit launch. The original version of the flag, also known as the Rising Sun Flag, consists of a red disc from which sixteen red rays emanate on a white background. In the 19th century, the flag was adapted by the Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy, and it remains associated with Japan's defence forces and navy, while it is also present in Japanese culture. However, the symbolism remains controversial in several countries — including China, South Korea, North Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Russia — due to its connotations with Japanese imperialism and militarism. The reaction to our new third kit with adidas has been special, but the launch video contained a scene that could inadvertently cause offence. We apologise for that. We've removed the scene from the film to make sure that as many fans as possible can enjoy it. — Newcastle United (@NUFC) July 1, 2025 Newcastle are travelling to Singapore and South Korea for a pre-season tour later this month for matches against Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, among others. A Newcastle spokesperson has said: 'We have been alerted to the appearance of a flag in our recent third kit launch video that could inadvertently cause offence. 'In response, we immediately removed the video from circulation and have taken steps to edit the visual from all future content. We sincerely apologise for any offence caused.' Newcastle subsequently posted up an edited version of the video without the appearance of the flag. ()

EPL club 'complete deal' to sign Rangers academy talent
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that an agreement is in place for the 16-year-old striker to join the Premier League outfit. Read more: Newcastle are said to have beaten several other top-flight English clubs to the youngster's signature. 🚨⚪️⚫️ Excl: Newcastle complete deal to sign talent Alfie Hutchison from Rangers, agreement in place.#NUFC beat several PL clubs to secure 16 year old striker for the Academy. — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 28, 2025 It comes after Romano recently revealed that Rangers had missed out on the signing of Kwame Poku from Peterborough United. The talented winger has instead opted to sign for English Championship side Queens Park Rangers. Rangers were interested in a move, but as time has gone on, it has become increasingly apparent that the player wanted to remain in the south of England. Romano now reports that a deal for Poku to join QPR is '100 per cent done', after he signed for the club this morning. Although they have missed out on Poku and appear to have lost youngster Hutchison, Rangers completed the signing of Max Aarons during the week. The right-back became the Ibrox club's second summer addition after joining on a season-long loan deal from English Premier League side Bournemouth. He and Lyall Cameron have both been added to new head coach Russell Martin's ranks ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
