The Champions close out their Portuguese leg of pre-season this Wednesday (July 16) with a stern test against the champions of Portugal – Sporting CP – at the Estádio Algarve in the south of the country. The game is live and exclusive worldwide on Celtic TV, with coverage starting at 7:15pm (Celtic Park Time). Join Paul Cuddihy and former Celtic striker Simon Donnelly for all the build-up and action.
