.......Celtic’s Parkhead home could stage next year’s international friendly between the Republic of Ireland and Brazil, according to a Tuesday morning newspaper report.
The March game is expected to take place away from these shores, with uncertainty over the availability of Croke Park and the new Aviva Stadium not scheduled to open until May.
Manchester United’s Old Trafford and the Emirates Stadium in London, home of Barclays Premier League giants Arsenal, had been mooted as potential venues.
But the Irish Independent reports that Celtic Park is now under strong consideration from the organisers.
The report also states that the decision on a venue will be taken by sports agency Kentaro and not the Football Association of Ireland.
should be good
Would love this to happen, obviously be good to see the Irish, and Brazil at Celtic Park would be great

Nice one.
Would be a good place to have it
Would love to get along to this !
The more you refuse to hear my voice, the louder I will sing.
Great for the plastic paddies.

I'm sure the lads would love to play at Parkhead!
What's the score with Trap lads?
Think he'll still be managing the team come March?
I know he has a contract, do you think he will honour it, or get the bullet, or what?

Aye trapp wont be sacked, no chance, I think he'll stick around till hes too old to manage.
why should this game be played anywhere but Croker?
It's not the creed or nationality that counts, it's the man himself
Celtic - more than just a club

I would go hopefully it happens![]()
"What these players have to realise, is that when you put on the Celtic jersey you're not playing for a football team, you're playing for a community and a cause"
I'd be there with my Brazil top.
Would love for this to happen. I reckon it'll be the Emirates though, that's held quite a few international friendlies involving Brazil.
Aye it probably will LSF. I wonder if any huns would go though wearing the Blue Brazil top just to boo the Irish players

Parkhead should be Ireland's second home (well Third home)
Would much prefer them to play in Glasgow but will give London Irish to see the game
