A Celtic select side will take on fellow Scottish Premiership outfit Dundee in November to celebrate Cammy Kerr’s testimonial.
Kerr has been a long-serving player at Dens Park, making his first-team debut for the club way back during the 2023/24 season after coming through their academy set-up.
The Bhoys have a strong following on Tayside and the defender is delighted to be welcoming a team representing the Scottish champions for his big night.
He said [Dundee FC]: “I am absolutely delighted to get the match announced, it is something that has been in the pipeline for quite a long time. My committee have put so much time and work into arranging this match and making it happen and I am so grateful to them for this.
“To have a club the calibre of Celtic come to Dens Park for my testimonial match is an absolute honour and I couldn’t be happier.
“It would mean the absolute world to me to have the Dundee fans come out and share this moment with me. We’ve been through highs and lows together and it would be amazing if they came and celebrated my ten years at the club as they’ve always been right there beside me.”
The match takes place on Thursday, November 16th, during the final international break of 2023. It’s unlikely to be the full first team that heads to Dens – it’s far more likely to be a B team guided by Darren O’Dea and Stephen McManus.
However, as we witnessed over the weekend on a similar occasion at Ayr United, first-team players could get a run out on the night. Mikey Johnston, Yuki Kobayashi, Marco Tilio and Hyeokkyu Kwon all got minutes under their belt on Sunday afternoon.
This could be another useful match in the calendar for Brendan Rodgers to give his players some game time, especially if there are long-term absentees returning during the November international break training period.
