Premiership champions Celtic brought down the curtain on their pre-season tour with a win that helped to steal the show at Banik Ostrava’s centenary celebrations.
Ange Postecoglou ’s squad have put in the hard work and can now look forward to "their homecoming” on Saturday, when Blackburn Rovers are the visitors at Celtic Park. The Hoops side spent most of their 10 days overseas at their Austrian training camp in Bad Erlach before they finished up in the Czech Republic.
Yes, the players might have got the nightly treat of watching Love Island but this trip was all about strengthening relationships within the Celtic dressing room and helping the new players bed into their new surroundings. It proved a worthwhile exercise as the boss broke his international players back in after their late return. The results at this point in pre-season aren’t the be all and end all, but they would have helped boost confidence.
