The Scots won out last year on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford thanks to Wayne Rooney’s free-kick and Gary Hooper’s equaliser.

Danny Webber missed the key spot-kick to give Celtic the victory.

In the 2025 edition, Bobby Robson takes the reins of the United team once more.

The game is being played to raise money for both clubs’ charities - the Manchester United Foundation and the Celtic Foundation.
