Celtic will play TWO matches on Tuesday as Brendan Rodgers steps up pre-season preparations with players getting a full 90 minutes.

Sparta Prague at 4.30pm Celtic Park Time is the main fixture but on the morning of that match the hoops will also play a game against Blau Weiss Linz.

With the Champions League qualifier away to Alashkert on July 10 Rodgers wants as many players as possible to have played a full match.

Celtic fly back to Glasgow on Tuesday evening.

In the matches played already, against Vorwarts and Bohemians Prague the Celtic boss has changed virtually his entire side at the interval.

Moussa Dembele is the only big name still to feature with the French striker a vital player in Celtic’s hopes of reaching the Champions League group phase for the third year running.

Celtic also have a friendly away to Shamrock Rovers on July 7 but it’s unlikely that the first team will feature three days before facing Alashkert.
