Celtic have announced Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers will visit Celtic Park for pre-season friendlies this summer.
Blackburn will play the Bhoys on Saturday, July 16 for a 12:30pm kick-off, while Norwich will travel a week later on July 23 for a 3pm clash.
The friendlies, both of which are included as part of supporters’ season ticket, will come following a pre-season tour of Austria.
The Celts will travel to Europe for a 10-day camp in the first week of July, playing a number of matches.
