English Premier League side Everton are said to be lined up as the team who will face Celtic in this November's Sydney Super Cup.
The tournament sparked controversy last year when it was announced Rangers and the Hoops would collide Down Under in what is being described as Parkhead boss Ange Postecoglou's homecoming. Eventually the Light Blues were forced to pull out of the tournament under fan pressure with A-League duo Western Sydney Wanderers and Sydney FC also set to participate.
An update on their website recently suggested that a replacement club would be announced shortly and Kick 360 have reported that side may be Frank Lampard's Everton, who are in 'talks' over participating. A message on the homepage of the Sydney Super Cup reads about prospective new opponents for Celtic in November: "History will be made in Sydney this November in the newly created Sydney Super Cup. Updated details to be announced soon!"
