Celtic, like Newcastle United, have already won the first piece of domestic silverware available to clubs in Scotland and England.
Celtic beat Rangers in the League Cup final back in December to begin Brendan Rodgers’ hunt for another domestic treble.
Three months later, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United beat Liverpool in the final of the Carabao Cup to win the trophy for the first time in their history.
The victory parade for the iconic cup win took place this weekend, in which Alan Shearer was a guest of honour and speaking about the celebrations, the Newcastle United legend namechecked the Celtic supporters.

Alan Shearer compares Celtic fan passion to Newcastle United’s
Shearer told The Rest Is Football [8m], “They’re just one club city, isn’t it? We just love our football and we’ve been starved of success for so many years.
“I think it was just a relief that we eventually got over the line. And yeah, we love our football.
“It’s a life. It is really, honestly, I don’t think I’ve been anywhere in the country where you have nanas and grandas, mums and dads, young kids and everyone who wears the black and white shirt like the Newcastle people do.
“And I think maybe in Liverpool or maybe in Glasgow for Rangers and Celtic, I don’t know, but it is very, very different and unique in Newcastle.”

When Ange Postecoglou won Celtic’s fifth treble in seven years before leaving for Spurs and the celebration that followed have been unmatched by any supporter base across the UK.
If Rodgers can do the same again with Celtic this season, the scenes from Newcastle will be tame compared to what will be witnessed in Glasgow come May.
