Celtic have announced that they will be heading to Austria and Switzerland at the end of June and into early July on their pre-season training camp.

The Scottish Premiership leaders will face eastern Austrian side SC Pinkafeld on June 26, before taking on Wiener Sport-Club in Vienna three days later.

Celtic will then face St Gallen at the Stadion Kybunpark in St Gallen on July 2, a week before the first Champions League qualifiers.

In their statement on their website, the Hoops added that fans worldwide can catch all of these games, as they are being screened live by Celtic TV globally.

A number of Parkhead faithful took to Twitter after the announcement was made, and some fans all said the same thing in terms of who they would like to see in pre-season:

The Champions League qualification rounds next season will see the Hoops enter in the first qualifying round, with draw set to be made on June 18, with the first leg on July 9 or 10.

Celtic have a tendency to play numerous friendlies in the summer in between the European qualifiers and the domestic campaign so there could likely be more games announced – maybe even the one the above fans are calling for?
