    Hopefully if it is Australia then we aren't jumping about the country like mad. Need to be back for 11th/12th July for our first qualifier. Players back on 19th June for preseason say a week at lennoxtown that's 26th June to what 6th/7th July so 1 week in oz seems a bit much tbh

    Can't see it now..

    Saw a few weeks ago, looked like a repeat of the visit from 5 years ago or so...

    Maybe it's been shelved! Could be what Brendan was talking about as his comment is more recent.

    Rogers said he doesn't want to do places like the USA and Australia coz of champions league. Pretty sure he said Europe and close to home

    Meanwhile, Rodgers has confirmed that Celtic will be headed to Austria this summer as they prepare for another gruelling process of getting through the Champions League qualifiers.

    “We will return for pre-season on June 19,” he said. “Some of the players will come back on 22nd and others round about the 26th, depending on their international circumstances. We’re going to have the first week here at Lennoxtown and then we will go to Austria and have a nice nine days. We’re all ready.”

    Let's be honest, the first qualifying round we'll play in will be against a team we'll absolutely stuff. No big deal where we're travelling during that time.

    Personally I doubt I will ever be able to take the International cup seriously. I'd rather just have a pre season in Europe to prepare for the European Cup.

    I'd rather just play EPL teams down in England.
