Celtic and Rangers will face off in Australia after agreeing to take part in the Sydney Super Cup.

The Hoops confirmed on Tuesday that boss Ange Postecoglou would return home as part of a four-team set-up that begins on November 16th.

Historically, it will see Scotland’s big two meet abroad for the first time alongside matches with A-League sides Sydney FC and Western Sydney.

Stuart Ayles, Western Sydney's Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade, Minister for Tourism and Sport, was over the moon to have brought an “iconic” match Down Under.

He said: “Sydney has kicked another goal as Australia’s home of football with the world’s best clubs coming out to play our hometown heroes in the Sydney Super Cup. What better way to start than with a historic rivalry like the Celtic vs Rangers derby.

“This will be the first time in history this iconic matchup has been played outside of Scotland, so this will be a huge attraction for football fans domestically and abroad.

“With three big matches played over five nights, visiting football fans will have an opportunity for an extended stay in the Harbour City, enjoying our vast cultural offerings, and vibrant hospitality and nightlife in one of the world’s great sporting cities.

“The benefits for our city and state will be huge, as we look to bring visitors back to Sydney by creating a regular blockbuster bi-annual event that will showcase our city, our local teams and our world-class stadiums to the rest of world.

“The NSW Government is focused on delivering marquee events like the Sydney Super Cup that capture the world’s attention, drive the NSW visitor economy and build Sydney’s reputation as the major events capital of the Asia Pacific.”
