Celtic has welcomed two new players to their ranks this transfer window: Marco Tilio and Odin Holm. Both players are now off to Portugal for an intensive warm-weather training camp with their new teammates.
Celtic fans residing in Japan will get the first look at Tilio and Holm in action. This opportunity comes later in July when the team plays in a pre-season tour of Japan.
However, for the majority of Celtic fans, the wait will be a bit longer. The first chance to see the new signings in the flesh will be at James Forrest’s Testimonial against Athletic Club. This match is set to take place at Celtic Park on August 1st.
Rodgers is expected to utilise his full squad during the testimonial match. This will give the new signings a chance to stretch their legs before the start of the SPFL season. For those eager to see Rodgers back in the dugout and any potential new signings before August, James Forrest’s testimonial is the place to be.
James Forrest, a product of Celtic’s youth academy, has had an outstanding career with the club since making his first-team debut in 2010. Known for his pace and precision, the winger has been instrumental in Celtic’s domestic dominance, contributing significantly to their multiple trebles – five to be exact.
Despite facing injuries and competition for his position, Forrest’s commitment to Celtic has never wavered. His testimonial match in August 2023 is a fitting tribute to a player who has given so much to the club.
