Ange Postecoglou has kickstarted Celtic 's pre-season without some of his regular starts returning to Lennoxtown ahead of jetting off for a training camp in Austria.
The Premiership champions are without some of their regular first-team starts with the likes of Callum McGregor, Kyogo Furuhashi, Matt O'Riley, Josip Juranovic and Giorgios Giakoumakis missing out so far. That has opened the door for some of the forgotten squad players to make their case for a starting spot ahead of the new campaign, which will have Champions League group stage games added to the calendar.
But Postecoglou will be desperate to build on the Double-winning success of last season which saw them lift the Scottish Premiership and Premier Sports Cup. It may be a big ask but a fast start to the pre-season campaign can only help the squad in their bid to land success, with outcast striker Albian Ajeti now among the group trying to earn a spot in the side.
