The Aleksander Isak transfer saga continues adding fresh narratives with every passing day. The Newcastle United striker has attracted attention from defending Premier League champions Liverpool, with the Reds eager to land the number nine.

On the second day of the camp, a double-goal tactical match was held in the training under the direction of technical director Eddie Howe. Newcastle United's Austria camp will continue until July 18.

Newcastle United’s preparations for the new Premier League season are firmly underway, with little under four weeks to go until their opener.Eddie Howe’s side beat National League side Carlisle United 4-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly last weekend before spending five days at a training camp in Austria.

Newcastle are living streaming all seven of their pre-season friendly games, via the club website on app, starting with today's match at Celtic. Magp+ members can access all games for £9.99 while Mags members can pay £19.99. Non-members can get al matches for £29,99.

The overall play from Newcastle United was still kind of ok generally, it was more a case of lack of penetration and quality/inspiration when getting to the Celtic penalty area, then mistakes and poor marking when the opposition got near the NUFC box. Plus it was more a 2-0 kind of game/defeat.

Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff and Aston Villa's Jacob Ramsey both face uncertain futures this summer.

Kieran Tierney started on the bench but the summer signing’s 55th minute introduction - for his first Parkhead appearance since a 3-0 win over Aberdeen in April 2019 - brought one of the biggest roars of the day. And he followed up by producing a delicious cross for Scales to head home 20 minutes later.

Newcastle United are set to be boosted by the return of Tino Livramento in their pre-season preparations. The Magpies have been without Livramento for the opening fortnight of pre-season after he helped England Under-21s win the Under-21 European Championships last month.
