Celtic continue their preseason tournament in France on Saturday as they are set to face Lyon. This is one you won’t want to miss, here is how to watch.
Celtic will look to grow off of their previous preseason friendly against Nice that took place on Thursday. The match resulted in a 1-1 draw and all things considered, the Hoops looked good for not having played competitively in 131 days.
Perhaps the most important factor in these preseason friendlies is gaining fitness and working on chemistry between players and their tactics. The only glaring issue that we took away from Thursday’s match was that left-back still leaves something to be desired.
Now, Celtic will get to face off against Lyon and former-Celt Moussa Dembélé. This is one match that Hoops fans will want to tune into. Here is how to watch:
