What channel is Celtic v Banik Ostrava on? Is it on TV? Pre-season friendly kick-off time and how to watch

Celtic are back in pre-season action on Wednesday when they take on Czech side Banik Ostrava.

It is the third friendly fixture for Ange Postecoglou's side following the 7-0 win over Wiener Viktoria and a 3-3 draw with Rapid Vienna in Austria last week.

A near sell-out crowd is expected at the 15,000-seater Městský Stadion as the hosts celebrate their 100th anniversary with a number of special ceremonies planned.

The match is another important step in Celtic's preparation for their Scottish Premiership title defence, which gets underway against Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Sunday, July 31.
