Last Time...Celtic v City

City and Celtic have never met competitively before. Although this is the clubs’ first official encounter, they have met in friendly matches. City beat Celtic 2-1 in Manchester in August 2009 with Gareth Barry and Carlos Tévez scoring either side of Chris Killen. Pablo Zabaleta was in City’s team that day along with Kolo Touré, now a Celtic player.

Quotes

Brendan Rodgers (Celtic): “They are a team at the top of the game. I have watched Man City and worked against them over the course of the last five seasons and they have always had an outstanding group of players, hence going on and winning leagues and cups, but the level of their play has gone up since Pep has come in.”
