Celtic confirm pre-season plans with trip to Austria and friendlies against English sides

Celtic will travel to Austria for a pre-season training camp this summer before returning to face two English sides in friendlies, the club has confirmed.

Ange Postecoglou’s side will play a number of matches during the 10-day camp, further details of which will be announced in due course, before returning to play two warm-up fixtures against Blackburn Rovers and Norwich City at Celtic Park.

Celtic last travelled to Austria in 2019 before going on to complete the quadruple treble under Neil Lennon.
