He played against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland and was up front with St James' Park hero Isak, where he opened his international account with a goal against the Irish. And Isak was full of praise for the new boy. He said: "It was very good to play with Benjamin. I really enjoyed it. "It's clear he is a fearless player who has a lot of confidence. "Playing with a winger like that who is able to provide good crosses can only be beneficial for someone like me. "I think he did incredibly well in the two games and it was a nice boost for him that he was also able to score his goal too." Meanwhile, Nygren gave a strong hint last month about why he has opted for Celtic over other options in Europe by insisting he is desperate to play in the Champions League. He said: "The last two years I have shown that I have taken the next step in my career, become a regular starter and I feel I have delivered at a high level for a long time. "I have developed a lot - not only on the tactical levels, but also as a player on the pitch and as a leader. Ex-Celtic coach Eric Black on the Cup exit that rocked Scottish football plus life with Lubo and Dr Jo "I am 23 years old and a captain already, which says a lot. My leadership skills are something that I have developed greatly. "I have always seen myself as someone who wants to lead and wants to show others and set a good example both on and off the field. "Playing in the Europa Conference League where I scored a hat-trick against Fenerbahce, was a big boost to my confidence and my dream is to play in the Champions League. "I make no secret of the fact that I have high ambitions and want to play in the best leagues and play in the Champions League. "And if you want to play in the biggest tournaments, you probably have to take the move forward from here." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

That was based on the city's 1860s coat of arms - something marketing bods want to respect and keep at the heart of it. It features a shield in the club's black and white colours with a gold trim, with two sea horses (hippocampi) included in a nod to the city's Roman past. Though, the castle, lion and flag that it's holding are where some of the main issues arise. There are issues with the details regarding both embroidery and in marketing corners as it is a struggle to see clearly what sits upon the castle on the shield. The hooves of the horses do not interact or are symmetrical on the shield. In all, they feel that it's a poor execution of the club crest no matter what technology or embroidery experts are used.

That has followed a trend by fashion designers such as Burberry - although they and even the likes of Newcastle statement UPDATING our crest. Together. As our club grows on the global stage, the symbol that represents us needs to be able to keep pace. It needs to show up clearly and confidently across everything – from kits to screens to merchandise. So, we've been asking ourselves: how well does our current crest represent the club today? And how well will it serve us tomorrow? It's time to update our crest This isn't a decision we take lightly. We love our crest. It's iconic and has stood us through unforgettable triumphs and testing times. But it was created in a different era. Its intricate design doesn't always translate well in today's digital world. And it's difficult to reproduce it clearly and consistently. As football and the world changes, so too must the symbol that unites us. That's why we're coming to you This isn't about walking away from our past. It's about carrying it forward with pride. The crest is part of our story. It's on our shirts and inked in our skin. It deserves thoughtful evolution – shaped by the voices of the people who love it. Tell us what matters most Based on what we've heard, updates to the current club crest should be minimal and therefore 'Refine & Revive' is our recommended approach. We've spoken to our Fan Advisory Board, now we want to hear from you. What should stay the same? What needs to be updated? And how can we embrace our history – not just by honouring it, but by preserving its spirit and building on it, so we can thrive in the years ahead? We're inviting Season Ticket holders and Members to share their views in an independently ran survey. A link to that survey will be emailed directly to those fans. The cut off is 5pm on Friday 16th May! Want to hear more? Want to hear more? We will be holding a fan consultation workshop for Season Ticket Holders and Members on Wednesday 14th May, both in person at St. James' Park and online, to provide more detail on why we're undergoing this process and offer you an opportunity to share your thoughts. A link will be supplied to register your interest to this event in the same email. What happens after the survey closes? The Fan Advisory Board have recommended that the wider fan base should be given a choice of options to select from during the second stage consultation. This second stage will be delivered via a separate survey, dates to follow. *an independent third party, Savanta, will be collecting responses, and sharing the results with Newcastle United.
