What channel is Celtic v Rapid Vienna on? Is it on TV? Pre-season friendly kick-off time, how to watch
After the 7-0 win over lower league side Wiener Viktoria on Wednesday, the Hoops now face a step up in level of opposition as they take on a Rapid Vienna side who finished fifth in the Austrian Bundesliga last season.
Celtic are likely to field a stronger line-up after several first-team regulars including Cameron Carter-Vickers, Callum McGregor, Kyogo Furuhashi, Giorgios Giakoumakis and Josip Juranovic sat out the first pre-season friendly having been afforded an extended summer break due to playing international fixtures in June.
