Celtic step up pre-season plans as Sheffield Wednesday fixture added to jam-packed schedule

Celtic will face Sheffield Wednesday in a closed-door friendly in Wales as they step up their pre-season plans.

It was announced this week that the Parkhead club would be heading for a training camp from July 5 to 14, with games against Charlton and Bristol City planned.

There was also a space left for an English opponent to be confirmed and it's now been announced that Celtic will take on Wednesday.

The Owls confirmed: "Darren Moore’s men will spend 10 days in Wales as preparations for the new season get underway.

"Our final day at the state-of-the-art complex will see the Owls face Scottish Premiership giants Celtic in a behind closed doors friendly.

"The game takes place on Wednesday 7 July, with kick-off at 3.00pm."

The match will be available to Celtic season ticket holders as part of the renewal incentives announced this week.

The Hoops are set to appoint Eddie Howe as their new manager in the coming days.

The former Bournemouth boss will be tasked with wresting the title back from Rangers, with an announcement expected next week.

Howe will be part of a summer of change at Parkhead with Dominic McKay already in place as the new CEO and a sporting director expected to be appointed too.
