Callum McGregor has opened up on the prospect of coming up against former Celtic team-mates Nicolas Kuhn and Alex Valle at the Como Cup.
Depending on results, Celtic could face the Italian club in the final or third-place match at the weekend.
Kuhn left Celtic for Como this summer in a £17m transfer move with Alex Valle having spent time on loan at Parkhead before a switch to join Cesc Fabregas' side.
McGregor is looking forward to seeing his old team-mates again during the pre-season trip as he hailed the privilege of being involved in football and the Como Cup.
"You cross paths so many times with new players, and you get to know them on a personal level as well," he said.
"You spend so many days at the hotel, training ground, playing with each other and building connections.
"It's always nice when you see players move on and do really well for themselves.

"It'll be nice to see those boys again, but football is an amazing industry where you travel the world, meet new people, and it broadens your horizons as well.
"We are really lucky to be a part of this and good to see the guys again as well."
Quizzed on what a loss Kuhn will be to [[Celtic]], manager Brendan Rodgers added: "Nicolas will be a real exciting talent.
"When we watched him playing in Rapid Vienna, straight away his speed, his ability with the ball and his ability to score goals really stood out.
"When we took him to Celtic, all of those qualities shone through.
"He was also playing in a very, very good team at Celtic, because for a player to shine, you also want to be in a good team.
"Callum and his team-mates really helped him improve as a player, and when you play for such a big club like Celtic, you become a winner.
"He left after 18 months, done a fantastic job for Celtic; he's a good guy, has lots of qualities, and I hope he does really, really well here."
