Celtic face Manchester City in their second game of the pre-season tour of the USA. The Scottish Champions face the English Champions at Chapel Hill in North Carolina. Brendan Rodgers’ side were 4-0 winners against MLS side DC United on Sunday and they’ll be looking to test their Champions League credentials against the Premier League side.
The teams last met in the UEFA Champions League during both Brendan and Pep Guardiola’s first seasons in charge. The two games couldn’t bring about a winner with a 3-3 draw at Celtic Park being followed by a 1-1 stalemate down in Manchester.
Team News
Kasper Schmeichel is expected to be involved after signing as the club’s new No.1 with Sinsalo deputising. You would expect that the pair would share the game time as Brendan looks to get his team in the best possible state for the beginning of the season.
A number of first team players came into the squad for the game against DC United. Daizen Maeda will likely be involved at some stage, as will skipper Callum McGregor. As he has in the rest of the pre-season games, the manager will look to mix the team with youth and experience as he tries to prep his squad as best as possible.
Kick Off Time
The game begins at 00:30 (Celtic Park Time).
Where to Watch
The game will be shown on Celtic TV to subscribers to the club’s in-house media provider with coverage starting at 00:15.
