Celtic to face Wolves in Dublin pre-season friendly, date, venue, ticket details revealed

Celtic and Wolves have decided to play their rescheduled preseason friendly match in Dublin. Even though they were initially scheduled to play in South Korea, both teams pulled out of the trip due to "financial and logistical" issues with the organisers. Due to this exciting game against Wolves, Celtic's preseason schedule had a nine-day gap that was now filled.

On Saturday, July 29, the game is scheduled to take place in Dublin's esteemed Aviva Stadium. The game's start time has been tentatively set at 2 PM. Starting tomorrow (Wednesday, July 12), fans who are excitedly anticipating this match may purchase tickets through Ticketmaster. Although neither team has yet to make an official statement, Ticketmaster's confirmation gives the rumour more validity.

After travelling to the Algarve last Friday, Brendan Rodgers' team is now in Portugal for a rigorous weeklong training camp.

Following their time in Portugal, Celtic will embark on their tour in Japan. They will first face Ange Postecoglou's former club, Yokohama F. Marinos, on July 19, followed by a match against Gamba Osaka three days later.
