Celtic set to discover Rangers replacement for Ange Postecoglou homecoming as new club to help make 'history'

Celtic will soon discover who they are taking on in November's Sydney Super Cup Down Under.

The tournament - which will take place while the Premiership side are on a break due to World Cup 2022 in Qatar - sparked controversy last season when it was announced Rangers would face their Glasgow rivals in a competition dubbed by some as Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou's homecoming. Under mounting fan pressure, the Light Blues pulled out, and now a new team must be found.

A first derby encounter on the other side of the world was set to take place at the Accor Stadium in front of 83,500 supporters, with A-League duo Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers also partaking in this event. Organisers have been quiet in the aftermath of Rangers' departure from proceedings but have now made a statement to confirm plans are well underway to find a new club.
