Celtic Draw 2-2 With AC Milan in Final Pre‑season Friendly

The match exposed defensive gaps ahead of the league opener while Camilo Duran's form and fresh transfer movement gave supporters some optimism.

Overview

  • Celtic and AC Milan played to a 2-2 draw at Celtic Park on Saturday, July 25, as Camilo Duran put Celtic 2-0 up before teenager Francesco Camarda scored twice for Milan.
  • Camilo Duran scored and provided an assist to continue a strong pre‑season run that has raised hopes about Celtic’s attacking options.
  • Francesco Camarda came off the bench to convert a penalty and head a second goal within minutes, underscoring second‑half defensive lapses for Celtic.
  • The friendly was not carried on UK national TV and was streamed primarily on CelticPlayer, reinforcing the club’s paywalled broadcast approach for pre‑season fixtures.
  • On the same day Celtic completed Daizen Maeda's move to Ipswich and reports said Kasper Høgh was imminent, a development that eased some fan anger but left recruitment and defensive cover as pressing issues before competitive games.
