Celtic rounded off their pre-season tour with an entertaining 4-2 victory over Czech outfit Banik Ostrava. Goals from Kyogo, Matt O'Riley, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Liel Abada capped a fine workout for Ange Postecoglou's side after Eldar Sehic opened the scoring.
It was a midsummer friendly with a slight twist as Banik's rowdy fans packed out the Metsky Stadion to celebrate the club's 100th anniversary. And while that party atmosphere spurred their heroes into an early lead, it was a largely assured and dynamic display from the Premiership champions as Postecoglou again gave minutes to a raft of players.
Celtic will now return to Glasgow for a meeting with Blackburn Rovers after what will be considered a successful camp abroad. Postecoglou's side took control of the early possession but were almost caught out by Jota's wayward pass back into midfield. There would've been no immediate emergency but for the fact Joe Hart had been taking up position some 35 yards from his goal in the opening minutes.
