The Sun has named the dates for Celtic’s pre-season matches in France.

Neil Lennon’s squad will spend this week training at Loughborough University with their first match in four months coming next Thursday against Lyon.

Celtic sold Moussa Dembele to the French side two years ago with a reunion bound to be interesting with the striker showing on social media that he still has strong feelings for his old club.

The Sun reports:

The Hoops will then fly out to France for three pre-season matches in six days against Lyon, Nice and PSG. The Premiership champions will face Moussa Dembele’s Lyon and Patrick Vieira’s Nice on July 16 and 18.

They will then round off their trip with a glamour tie against PSG on the 21st – with Neymar and Kyliann Mbappe set to be unleashed.

Celtic haven’t made any signings since the transfer window opened with most speculation surrounding the goalkeeping position.

Fraser Forster remains Lennon’s preferred option but it seems that the trail has gone a little cold over the last week.

Scott Bain looks like getting his chance to impress during the pre-season fixtures but with Joe Hart and David Marshall being linked with a move to the Scottish champions.
