Celtic have confirmed that four more former players will return to Paradise this September for the Legends game. The Celtic Foundation is putting on a clash between Celtic Legends and Manchester United Legends at Paradise with Tom Rogic and Joe Hart making their return to Celtic Park.

In an update on Saturday morning, the Scottish Champions confirmed that Efe Ambrose, Charlie Mulgrew, Gary Hooper and Shaun Maloney would pull on the Hoops once more.

Celtic will face a Red Devils XI on September 6th during the international break as supporters get the chance to see some of their former favourites (and current – Tom) once more.

Maloney returns to the pitch at Celtic Park shortly after returning to the club as the First Team Pathways Manager, a route he is familiar with having graduated from the Academy into MON’s first team.

Celtic have already confirmed the Holy Goalie, Artur Boruc, and it is expected that more former favourites will return to face Man Utd.
