Substitute Troy Hearfield earned Central Coast a massive scalp as his well-taken goal gave the Mariners a 1-0 win over the Scottish soccer giant Celtic in a preseason friendly at the Olympic stadium on Saturday night.

The match between last season's Australian and Scottish league runners-up produced few clear-cut chances.

But new recruit Hearfield, formerly of Wellington and Newcastle, curled in a shot from the edge of the area in the 87th minute after Celtic had failed to clear a cross from the left.

Another second half substitute, Trent Sainsbury, cleared the ball off the line just before the end of the 90 minutes, as Celtic had an appeal for hand ball turned down.

Neither goalkeeper was forced into a significant save in the first half.

Celtic put a couple of attempts wide and the Mariners had a good spell just before the break, forcing several corners and having two shots blocked.

Clearly not enthused by the on-field fare, a few spectators in the 19,482-strong crowd tried to create their own entertainment by running on to the field during the half-time break and in the second half.

Attacking the end where the biggest block of its supporters were gathered, Celtic showed a little more urgency in the second half.

The game finally came to life after an hour, with each side earning good chances within the space of a minute.

Mariners goalkeeper Justin Pasfield foiled substitute Anthony Stokes with his legs before Adriano Pellegrino headed wide from a cross from impressive Mariners left back Josh Rose.

Celtic handed debuts to two off-season signings, defenders Adam Matthews and Kelvin Wilson, and included just three starters from their Scottish Cup final-winning team.

The Mariners started with six of their run-on side from the A-League grand final loss to Brisbane Roar.

Celtic plays Perth Glory next Saturday and Melbourne Victory four days later.

The Scottish giant starts its domestic campaign in five weeks, while the Mariners still have more than three months before their first A-League fixture.

Mariners: 1 (87')

Celtic: 0

A new defence report appears to have ruled Newcastle out as the site of a second international airport to service Sydney.

But mayors on the New South Wales central coast are lobbying for their neighbouring region to be considered instead.

The developments continue the long and divisive debate on just where a second major airport for Sydney should be built.

The Royal Australian Air Force has reviewed civil aviation access to its airfields and found while the number of passenger flights at Newcastle Airport is manageable, airspace and runway congestion can occur.

It also found there would be significant disruption to passenger and military traffic if the current number of civilian take-offs and landings at the Williamtown facility is increased.

The Federal MP for Paterson, Bob Baldwin, says that rules the region out of the running as the site for a second airport for Sydney.

"What the report pretty much shadows is there will not be the capacity there for Williamtown to become the second international airport," Mr Baldwin said.

"That will be a welcome relief for residents.

"What we can't have is the RAAF base being jeopardised.

"I mean thousands of people that are employed there bring a great economic benefit to our region.

"The spend in the local community by the RAAF base brings great economic benefit to our community."

Two central coast mayors say their region has been considered as an option for more than a decade.

Gosford Mayor Laurie Maher says the prospects will be discussed at a meeting of the Central Coast Regional Organisation of Councils next week.

"I think that's a big step forward for the central coast," Councillor Maher said.

"We might be able to provide the solution for the Federal Government."

Possible airport locations on the central coast are all west of the F3 freeway in the plateau area of Kulnura, Peats Ridge and Somersby.

Councillor Maher says the central coast has several advantages over Newcastle.

"It's close to Sydney," he said.

"The Government is doing the feasibility on the fast train from Newcastle to Sydney, that could be part of the whole infrastructure.

"It's got the population base of both Newcastle and Sydney, and of course we've got a population here of 300,000 locally to go to 400,000 plus."
