    BW ("Blue-White") Linz are currently playing in the second division of the Austrian Bundesliga. A club with a great history (foundet als "Stahl Linz") but the great successes happened long time ago.
    I think the current team of BW could compete in the Scottish Championship. All in all I think they are a good opponent for a pre season game.

    I think we will see a improved B-side against them. Or 45 min - 45 min like Rodgers did at the first pre season game of 2016-17.

    Some good tests here. Rapid, Slavia and Lyon, good looking games on paper.

    CELTIC will take on Slavia Prague in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday, July 4 as part of the team’s preparations for the new campaign.

    The match takes place in Slavia’s Eden Arena and will be the third pre-season match for Brendan Rodgers’ side, who also take on BW Linz in Rohrbach on Wednesday, June 28 before facing Rapid Vienna in Amstetten on Saturday, July 1.

    And the game against Slavia Prague, like the other two fixtures, will be broadcast LIVE to ALL Celtic TV subscribers. For more information click HERE

    There are historic links between both clubs, with Johnny Madden, who played in Celtic's first ever game back in May 1888 before going on to make 118 appearances for the club, also going on to coach Slavia Prague in the early 20th century, being acknowledged as the 'father of Czech football'.

    In April, a group of supporters representing the Celtic Graves Society visited Prague to take part in a special ceremony with fans of Slavia Prague at the graveside of Johnny Madden.

    Celtic will also be in action against Shamrock Rovers in Dublin on Saturday, July 8 ahead of their first UEFA Champions League qualifier the following midweek.

    Will try to get ticket for the Rapid Vienna game. But the stadium in Amstetten has a capacity of only 3,000 - will be a bit tough...

    When is the first game at Celtic Park?

    Will it be the qualifying game or is there to be a friendly before then?
