It is the Hoops’ penultimate game of pre-season but for the Citizens, it is only their first. Ahead of the match, here is everything you need to know.

Day and Time

Celtic take on Manchester City late tomorrow evening. In the UK, the game kicks off at midnight on Wednesday 24th July but over in the States, the action commences at 7 pm ET, on Tuesday 23rd July.

Venue

The midweek match-up is being played at Kenan Stadium, an American college football ground in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It holds just over 50,000 people and is over 250 miles away from Audi Field, where the Celts took on DC United at the weekend.

TV and Stream

Fans can watch the game on Celtic TV. Alternatively, Manchester City’s official streaming service, CITY+, is showing the match. It is available for just £4.99 for one month.

Team News

Brendan Rodgers has no fresh injury issues to contend with following the DC United friendly.

It remains to be seen whether he will pick a similar starting eleven to that game here or begin to breed in regular first-teamers like Callum McGregor, Greg Taylor, and Cameron Carter-Vickers with the league season beginning in less than a fortnight.

Regardless, it will be a strong lineup which faces a City side who are far behind in their pre-season preparations compared to the Bhoys.
