Celtic V Inter Just Days Away

This coming Saturday at 7pm, Thomond Park will play host to two of the biggest names in European football when Celtic and Inter Milan go head-to-head in the International Champions Cup.

Now in its fourth year, the International Champions Cup brings together the giants of club football on four different continents.  The match-up between Serie A heavyweights Inter Milan and Scottish Premiership champions Celtic is the second International Champions Cup game being held in Ireland this summer after FC Barcelona’s 3-1 win over Celtic in the Aviva Stadium on July 30.

Speaking ahead of the game, Celtic ambassador John Hartson, who won six major trophies with the club, believes the game will bring out the passion of the area. “Thomond Park is a magnificent stadium and I have always been impressed by the passion of the crowds there. With Celtic and Inter Milan, two great clubs, coming for this fantastic game I'm sure the local people will come out to enjoy a memorable game.”

Inter Milan boast an outstanding history with three Champions League titles, three UEFA Cups, one FIFA Club World Cup, 18 Serie A, seven Copa Italia, and five Supercoppa Italiana titles.

Celtic have won the Scottish Premiership title 47 times and have also lifted the European Cup – becoming the first British club to do so in 1967.
