How to watch Yokohama vs Celtic with live stream, kick-off and TV details as the Scottish champions begin tour of Japan
Celtic will kick-off their tour of Japan with a clash with Yokohama F Marinos as Brendan Rodgers steps up their pre-season work in preparation for the big Scottish Premiership kick off.
It's the first chance for fans to catch a glimpse of the Irishman's second coming after the opening friendly double-header against Portimonense was played behind closed doors and a number of the squad will be met with a heroes welcome when they take to the pitch in the Land of the Rising Sun. The move to Celtic has saw Kyogo, Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda rise to superstardom in their homeland, while Tomoki Iwata and Yuki Kobayashi will look to make an impression on the fans and the new boss.
Celtic last visited the home of Yokohama during Shunsuke Nakamura's time at the club in 2006, but they'll hope for a better result this time after suffering a 3-0 defeat. And with Gamba Osaka just around the corner Rodgers will hope to build some early momentum for the Scottish Premiership champions during the tour.
