LYON have confirmed the date Moussa Dembele and Celtic will collide this month in the Veolia Cup and we’re getting Saturday night football in France!
Celtic will head over to play some pre-season friendlies against top French opposition and the cup game puts them up against their former striker.
There’s no word on what channel this will be on, if any. Hopefully, the club can air it live to season ticket holders.

Dembele left the club two years ago for £22m. The striker has become of Europe’s most sought after players, becoming a focal point of the Lyon side.
There has been rumours of a switch to the Premier League this summer which would benefit Celtic who have a sell-on clause for Moussa.
Let’s hope he doesn’t have a good showing against Celtic in a couple of weeks and the bhoys can grab a win.
The game against PSG is scheduled for July 21.
