Celtic continued their pre-season preparations with a 4-2 win over Banik Ostrava in the Czech Republic. Despite falling behind to a goal from Eldar Sehic, Kyogo and Matt O’Riley put Celtic ahead at the break. Giorgos Giakoumakis’ terrific overhead kick gave Celtic a 3-1 lead but they really should have been out of sight with a number of chances.
