Around 5,000 tickets sold for the glamour friendly with Canada at Easter Road tomorrow, Hampden half full at best for the visit of Slovenia on Sunday.
In the meantime club football takes a break at the time in the season when issues are building up and excitement high across the game.
The advances of international football over the last decade or two have eroded into the club fixture list with fans left at a loose end and wondering what to do with their weekend.
This break is the only one in the second half of the season, it’s much much worse when the new season kicks off with three batches of international matches between September and December.
As FIFA attempts to extend their influence with a 64 team World Cup planned the every day club supporter is suffering.
For the clubs some will welcome the break, a bit of a breather won’t do Celtic any harm after three off par performances which haven’t harmed their trophy prospects in any way.
