Celtic have announced a multi-year partnership with EA Sports
The gaming brand, which produces the FIFA gaming series, will feature the Hoops prominently in their upcoming edition of the series FIFA 23.
Parkhead's presence in the game has yet to be confirmed.
Celtic's Commercial Director, Adrian Filby said: “We are delighted to announce this fantastic long-term partnership with EA Sports, the leading organisation in its field.
“Celtic’s reach is truly global, and we are pleased to be partnering with an organisation of such profile and quality, known globally as a true market leader.
“We know that thousands of our fans have a great affinity with EA Sports and FIFA 23 already.
“We are sure this new partnership will be hugely beneficial for the club and our supporters.”

James Salmon, Marketing Director of EA Sports FIFA, added: “We’re excited to have Celtic join the EA Sports family.
“This partnership will enable us to continue to deliver authentic and comprehensive interactive football experiences to Celtic fans in FIFA 23 and beyond.”
There has also been speculation that the deal could mean Parkhead is featured in the gaming title.
This would be the first time that the iconic stadium has been in the game, which would surely excite fans.
