Joe Hart and Tom Rogic join Celtic legends squad
As confirmed on the Celtic website, Joe Hart and Tom Rogic will both be involved in the squad.
Hart spent three years in Glasgow before choosing to retire at the end of last season while Rogic scored the winning goal in the first Treble-winning season under Brendan Rodgers.
Rogic left Celtic after nine wonderful years in Glasgow to join West Bromwich Albion and is looking forward to returning.
He 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.”
