The season is fast approaching and Celtic are gearing up for Champions League group stage football.
And as Ange Postecoglou and his side continue their pre season preparations, James Forrest has highlighted the high standards his boss has expected from the get-go. After ending last season on a positive note, the Hoops are looking to come back even stronger with the gaffer well into his second Parkhead pre season this summer.
Celtic are back on home soil after a trip to Europe which saw them complete a training camp in Austria before friendly clashes in Vienna as well as a game in the Czech Republic. But there was no rest upon arrival in Glasgow's east end as the side were straight back to Lennoxtown before welcoming Blackburn Rovers to Parkhead at the weekend. And with less than two weeks left until the league campaign kicks off and Champions League group stage games in September, Forrest reckons the tough pre season schedule, as well as Ange's expectations, will benefit him and his teammates this year.
