Celtic fans Stateside will have the perfect opportunity to see the Hoops in action this summer as their heroes prepare to come over for a three-match pre-season tour.
We now know the line-up, locations and order of the fixtures. On July 20th, Celtic travel to face D.C. United at Audi Field in Washington, pitting Brendan Rodgers against one of the United States’ most successful clubs.
Following their trip to the capital, the Bhoys then head to Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina as Pep Guardiola’s men lay in store on July 23rd.
Finally, we finish off with what is set to be a special occasion against Chelsea on July 20th, which will be played at the iconic Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, an arena that is home to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish college football team, who have an enormous worldwide fanbase.
In the lead-up to another exciting campaign where Celtic will be involved in the Champions League, either as an automatic group stage entrant or as a team in the qualification rounds, these fixtures are bound to provide ideal preparation for our endeavours.
