Athletic will face Celtic on August 1. The match against the Scottish League champion will be played at Celtic Park and is part of the acts for the 125th anniversary of the rojiblanca entity. The local team will take the opportunity to honor James Forrest, who will complete his fifteenth season at the club. A true example of One Club Man.

The appointment against Glasgow is the third announced by Ibaigane. On July 16 they will play Chivas in the Mexican town of Guadalajara in the second leg of the Gernika Tree Trophy (2-0 in the first leg played in San Mamés in December) and on July 19 against Necaxa in Aguascalientes.

Celtic have finished the Scottish Premiership as first classified with a considerable distance of thirteen points over the second, their neighbors Glasgow Rangers, and the Cup final against Inverness is pending on Saturday, June 3.

This will be the second time Athletic and Celtic have met. The first was at the old San Mamés in a friendly organized in favor of the Biscayan grassroots in March 2011 (0-0).
