Celtic supporters to come out in force for Mariners match

Celtic fans in Australia will come out to support their favourite club when they meet Central Coast Mariners this weekend.

The Glasgow giants take on the A-League club at Sydney's ANZ Stadium on Saturday in the first of three international friendlies down under and a crowd of more than 20,000 is expected.

Western SydneyCeltic Supporters Group member Nick Kelly told au.fourfourtwo.com that there will be plenty of support for the Hoops on the weekend.

"As you can imagine Suncorp was a sea of green and white and the experience of standing with all the Celtic supporters raising the scarf to "You'll Never Walk Alone" was a truly moving experience," he said.

"On this tour when they belt out "You'll Never Walk Alone" it'll be fantastic. Electric."

Following the Mariners match, Celtic meet Perth Glory on July 9 and Melbourne Victory on July 13 ahead of the upcoming Scottish Premier League season which kicks off on July 23.
