Celtic TV have dropped a promotional short that showcases the club's forthcoming coverage of its imminent preseason fixtures. If anyone needed reminding, that kicks off on Friday, July 5.

At the time of writing, that's just nine days away. And while any summer interval that includes a European Championships or a World Cup is always welcomed, the excitement that drives the return of club football speaks.

The Celtic USA Tour 2024 is easily the biggest draw of the weeks ahead – during which Celtic will play DC United, Manchester City and Chelsea across the Atlantic – but Brendan Rodgers and his players will prepare for that trip with preseason friendlies against Queen's Park and Ayr United beforehand.

Here's Celtic TV's video:


The latter game marks the first of Celtic's preseason friendly schedule ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, during which Brendan Rodgers and his players will defend the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish Cup.
