Following this match, the club will return to Portugal for a warm-weather training camp, which will culminate in a pre-season friendly against Sporting CP at the Estadio Algarve on Tuesday, July 14.
This mirrors the same pre-season plans that were carried out last summer, with the club facing one of Portugal's largest teams for the second time in a row.
In their previous meeting, Celtic ran out 2-0 winners, thanks to goals from Reo Hatate and Luke McCowan.
