Celtic make their long-awaited return to first-team action on Thursday evening in Lyon, France.

Neil Lennon’s Bhoys will take on Ligue 1 side Nice at the Groupama Stadium at 17:15, Celtic Park time, tomorrow.

The Scottish champions will then face Lyon at the same venue on Saturday before making the trip to Paris to play Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.

Celtic last played all the way back on March 7th, routing St Mirren 5-0 just prior to the curtailment of the Scottish Premiership season.

It’s been a long, long wait to get a glimpse of the Hoops live again but we’re not far away now.

The club have today detailed all the broadcast options for fans around the world to tune into the action.

For supporters outside of the UK & Ireland, in-house channel Celtic TV will be broadcasting live worldwide to subscribers via celticfc.tv.

For those in the UK, broadcaster Premier Sports will be providing coverage on a variety of different platforms including online.

Sky customers can sign up via the Premier Sports website and watch on channel 412.

Virgin customers meanwhile can subscribe via their set-top box or by calling 0845 840 7777, before watching on channel 551.

Those looking to stream online or via a mobile device can sign up to Premier Player.

All of the options with Premier Sports cost £9.99 per month, though they are also showing the upcoming friendlies against Lyon and PSG, as well as our first European qualifiers next month.

It’s not ideal that supporters have to add an existing subscription to their monthly bills to watch these matches.

However, that isn’t taking away from my excitement for the friendly too much.

It’ll be fantastic to see what kind of shape and form Lennon’s team are in after hard work at Lennoxtown and Loughborough University.
