Celtic are sticking with the Lowland League with their opening fixture being away to Cumbernauld Colts on Saturday July 22.

The Celtic B team joined the fifth tier of the pyramid at the start of season 21/22 along with their counterparts from Ibrox as the two clubs attempted to find a way to develop players beyond the Academy set up.

Earlier this month a lengthy statement from Ibrox announced that they would no longer be taking part in the Lowland League which is sponsored by their former Chairman through the Parks Motor Group.

Hearts B will compete for the second season with Albion Rovers dropping down after losing to Spartans in the SPFL Play-Off.

After their opener away to Cumbernauld Colts,  Celtic have two home games at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie against Caledonian Braves and Cowdenbeath.

Stephen McManus and Darren O’Dea will be in charge of the squad who will also take part in the UEFA Youth League which starts in September and mirrors the Champions League fixtures of the first team.
