The Hoops returned to Lennoxtown last Friday as pre-season training got underway. Now, full focus will be on the friendly against Scottish Championship side Queen’s Park.

It’s a repeat of the summer 2024 friendly between the two sides, and hopefully we are treated to the same level of entertainment.

Celtic won that astonishing game 6-4, with Kyogo Furuhashi scoring a hat-trick and Matt O’Riley also netting before his record £26m switch to Brighton & Hove Albion.
