Former Celtic stars Joe Hart and Tom Rogic are looking forward to a return to Parkhead early in the new season.
Celtic FC Foundation announced that the Legends Charity Match will take place on Saturday, September 6, 2025, with Celtic Legends welcoming Manchester United Legends.
Former England goalkeeper Hart, 38, left Celtic last summer following three seasons with the club, while midfielder Rogic ended a successful nine-year spell at the Hoops when he joined West Brom at the end of season 2021-22.
Hart, who these days works in the media, told Celtic’s official website: “I am absolutely delighted to be returning to Celtic Park for the Legends match in September.
🗣️ “I really can’t wait to come back and play in front of the fans again.”
Joe Hart is back at Paradise! 🙌
He’ll join the Celtic Legends as they take on @ManUtd Legends in our next charity match at Celtic Park ⤵️

“It was such an honour to finish my career with the club and, although it’s only been just over a year since I left Glasgow, I really can’t wait to come back and play in front of the fans again.
“It’ll be brilliant to see some familiar faces and it promises to be a great occasion.
“I was always so impressed by the work of the foundation during my time at Celtic and it’s going to be fantastic to play a part in hopefully raising plenty of money through this match.”
Rogic, 32 and now retired from playing, said: “It’s really exciting to be coming back for the Legends match against Manchester United.
“My time with Celtic was such a huge part of my career and there were so many amazing memories, so to come back and pull on the Hoops again will be a very special moment.
“There was always such a big focus from the club on helping others and the work that the foundation do is phenomenal, so it’s a privilege to be involved and I’m sure the supporters will come out in their numbers as they always do.”
