Opinion: Celtic talent must make every start count, even in pre-season

Celtic’s preparations for season 2022/23 really get underway in just over 24 hours time, when the Hoops take on Wiener Viktoria in a pre-season friendly in Austria.

The result of the game doesn’t really matter, as it will just be about getting players fit in the run-up to the first league game of the season at the end of the month against Aberdeen.

However, it could be a big game for one of Celtic’s new arrivals, and that is former Dundee United goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist.

The shot-stopper has arrived at Celtic Park aiming to challenge Joe Hart for the goalkeeper’s jersey, and that means that he will need to impress at every chance he gets, even when it comes to friendlies.
