Celtic continued their preparations for the new season with another goal-fest, this time drawing 2-2 with Blackburn Rovers upon their return to Parkhead.
A sell-out crowd was announced pre-match for the Hoops' first home game of the new term but it got off to a horrible start when Blackburn opened the scoring through Sam Gallagher. Quickly they responded with a fine finish from Jota and were ahead at half-time via a David Turnbull free-kick.
Rovers responded with one of their own through Ben Brereton Diaz strike from a deadball situation and that was that in terms of scoring. It follows on from Celtic's pre-season camp in Austria where they beat Wiener Viktoria 7-0 and drew against Rapid Wien 3-3, alongside a 4-2 win against Banik Ostrava in Czech Republic. They travel to Poland on Wednesday for another warm-up match, facing Legia Warsaw in a testimonial-style match for cult hero Artur Boruc.
