Rennes have confirmed they will play Celtic in Portugal on December 10.

The two clubs will be in Portugal for a warm weather training camp and have linked up to give their players some much needed game minutes before the season recommences.

There’s no official word from Celtic on the tie as of yet. Nor did Rennes confirm, where and what time the game would take place.

We’d expect to get the details sooner rather than later.

The clubs came up against each other not so long ago in the Europa League. They’ll renew their rivalry in a much more laid back fashion in Portugal,

Celtic players were given some much needed time off after the first half of the season, culminating in a long haul flight to Sydney. After the bhoys played two games down under, the squad went their separate ways.

They’re due back at Lennoxtown later this week before heading to Portugal on Sunday.

Celtic fans will be desperate to see the team back as soon as possible. While the World Cup does give us a football fix, there’s no competition between that and watching Celtic!
