South Korea organisers have revealed they are lining up Celtic to face local side Incheon United instead of Wolves, after the Premier League club withdrew from their tour.
The Hoops were stunned to discover their planned pre-season glamour clash with Wolves on July 26 in South Korea was cancelled after the Molineux club pulled out because of financial concerns about the trip, with Jose Mourinho's Roma also withdrawing. However, organisers Stadium X are desperately trying to arrange a replacement game instead for Celtic and have lined up K-League outfit Incheon United instead to play.
They stated: "While the visits of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Roma have been cancelled, a match between Celtic and Incheon United is still progressing. We are changing our original schedule and promoting a match now between Incheon and Celtic, who have national striker Oh Hyeon-gyu in their team. We would like to express our deepest apologies to football fans in South Korea for the cancellation of some of the matches."
