What time and TV channel is Sligo v Celtic 'B' on today in pre-season?

Sligo Rovers welcome Celtic 'B' this evening in a pre-season friendly for the Scottish side.

There are strong links between the two sides, most notably in the form of Willie McStay who played for both clubs during his 13-year-long professional playing career.

Sligo native Sean Fallon joined the Scottish giants in 1950 and went on to become a legend of the club, making more than 250 appearances in his eight-year spell at the club.

He later took on the role of assistant manager in 1962, and held that position for 13 years.

Sligo manager John Russell: "It promises to be a good occasion for both clubs here at The Showgrounds.

"I know there is a good history between the clubs with various players or staff having played or managed both here and in Scotland.

Speaking ahead of the match, B Team coach Darren O’Dea said: “Pre-season has been good. This is a really, really young group we have got.

“So although we are working the players extremely hard, you are a tiny bit conscious of the fact they are still at a very young age.

“They maybe can’t handle the physical loads as well as a senior player can. So we are trying to be careful in how we do things."
