Celtic wrap up their week in Portugal with a glamour clash against Sporting Lisbon at the Estadio Algarve on Tuesday, July 14. The Scottish champions have been training in the Algarve heat as they prepare for the new campaign, and this match serves as their second pre-season test after a 1-1 draw with Shelbourne in Dublin last week.
Match Details and Kick-Off Time
The friendly kicks off at 5:30pm UK time at the Estadio Algarve in Faro, Portugal. It is a repeat of last summer's fixture at the same venue, where Celtic secured a 2-0 victory with goals from Reo Hatate and Luke McCowan.
TV and Live Stream Information
Unlike last week's clash at Shelbourne, the game has not been selected for broadcast by Premier Sports. However, Celtic will provide a live stream via CelticPlayer for subscribers in the UK, Ireland, and overseas. Coverage begins at 5:15pm, and there is no pay-per-view option.
Potential Debut for Camilo Duran
Fans may get their first glimpse of £6million striker Camilo Duran, who is hoping to shake off an illness that caused him to miss training on Monday. The Colombian could make his unofficial debut for the Hoops in this friendly.
Post-Match Plans
Celtic will fly straight back to Glasgow after the final whistle before continuing their pre-season schedule against Middlesbrough at Parkhead on Saturday.
