Rangers, meanwhile, travelled down south to take on Manchester United at Old Trafford, after hosting Tottenham at Ibrox a month earlier. This time it's Newcastle that will test themselves against one of Scotland's big two in Glasgow. Rodgers' players will come into this friendly showdown with plenty of minutes, having already played four non-competitive fixtures this summer so far. Newcastle, on the other hand, have played just one game against Carlisle - a 4-0 win last Saturday. Next week the Magpies will really up the ante as they fly over to South Korea alongside Spurs for a pre-season tournament. But first things first is a trip north of the border to face the Scottish champions. Celtic host Newcastle TODAY, Saturday, July 19. The match kicks off at 3pm UK time. It is being held at Celtic Park in Glasgow. This game will NOT be shown on live TV. The game will, however, be streamed live via Celtic TV.

Anthony Elanga arrives on Tyneside as Newcastle close on signing
Anthony Elanga is on Tyneside as he prepares to complete a big-money move from Nottingham Forest to Newcastle. The 23-year-old winger was filmed touching down at Newcastle International Airport on Tuesday evening with a view to undergoing a medical. Advertisement Newcastle have remained silent on reports that the two clubs have agreed a fee which could eventually amount to £55million for the Sweden international, but the PA news agency understands they are close to completing a deal. Alexander Isak could be joined at Newcastle by Sweden team-mate Anthony Elanga (Owen Humphreys/PA) Former Manchester United trainee Elanga has been coveted by the Magpies for some time and the prospect of him linking up with international team-mate Alexander Isak at St James' Park is one which will whet the appetite of the Toon Army. Eddie Howe's men ended their 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy when they won the Carabao Cup last season while also securing a second Champions League campaign in three years. That was achieved without a major addition to the squad in three transfer windows as the club fought to comply with profitability and sustainability regulations, a process which saw them sell promising talents Elliot Anderson – who enjoyed a stunning season with Forest – and Yankuba Minteh last summer and Miguel Almiron and Lloyd Kelly in January. Advertisement Elanga's addition to a pool of frontmen which also includes Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy and Will Osula, but no longer Callum Wilson, would represent a fresh statement of intent and finally end a lengthy wait for reinforcements.
