What channel is Sporting CP v Celtic on? TV, live stream and highlights details for pre-season friendly
Full details ahead of Celtic’s second pre-season test in Portugal vs Sporting CP.
Celtic will face a stern test against European giants Sporting CP as they finish off their week long Portuguese training camp in the Algarve this week.
Their second game in five days, the Hoops felt to their first defeat of the summer last Saturday morning, where goals from from Reo Hatate and Adam Idah were not enough to help them defeat Estrela Amadora, who ran out 3-2 winners in the behind-closed-doors clash at Municipal Stadium Mário Wilson.
Set to take place near Faro on Wednesday evening, Brendan Rodgers’ side will now step up their pre-season preparations in the blistering sun against Rui Borges’s side, who are expected to be without star man Viktor Gyökeres due to his impending £55.6million move to Arsenal, before returning home for a glamour friendly with English Premier League outfit Newcastle United next week.
