What channel is Sligo Rovers v Celtic on? Live stream and TV details plus team news for friendly clash

Their first trip the Irish town since 1975, Celtic will be welcomed by a sold out crowd as head coach Brendan Rodgers takes his team across the Irish sea to face the League Of Ireland outfit on Wednesday.

The Celts boss has confirmed he will be in the dugout for the game, as he looks to offer a number of his side’s fringe players and up and coming youngster a chance to impress against Bit O’Red.

“I’ll be taking the team,” confirmed Rodgers. “That plan was in place a few months back. Obviously we’ll need to recover some players. But there’s going to be a number of players that need games. So it will be a mixture of our first-team players in the squad and also some of our young players, because it’s my chance to see them. But yes, we’ll go over there, always great to go back home. And then we’ll prepare them for Aberdeen.”

"When you're working at a club like Celtic you are reminded every day of its history, so it's great to be able to visit and play in Sligo, a place where the club has so many amazing links. The game takes place during the international window so it'll be a good work out for the first-team players who aren't involved with their countries that week.”
