Sporting CP vs Celtic LIVE score and goal updates from pre season friendly in Portugal

The champions of Scotland and Portugal go head-to-head tonight as Celtic bring the curtain down on their pre-season tour in the Algarve.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have been grafting in the searing heat of Lisbon since Thursday, even taking time to visit the iconic Estadio Nacional - the site of the club’s greatest ever triumph in 1967 - before heading south last night.

Saturday's behind-closed-doors runout against Estrela da Amadora ended in a 3-2 defeat, but now Callum McGregor and Co. will step things up in front of a big crowd at the Estadio Algarve.

New Bhoys Kieran Tierney, Benji Nygren and Hayato Inamura are set for more minutes as they continue to build match sharpness, while a number of academy prospects could also be handed another chance to impress.

Meanwhile, Shin Yamada is poised to become Celtic’s latest summer signing, with the Japanese striker saying his goodbyes to Kawasaki Frontale ahead of his move to Glasgow.

Rodgers is likely to face fresh questions on transfer business after the game, having already made it clear that reinforcements are urgently needed before the Premiership curtain-raiser.

Celtic got their campaign off to a flyer last year with emphatic pre-season wins over Manchester City and Chelsea.

There hasn't quite been the same pace and energy so far this summer, but at this stage, it's all about building fitness.

The champions have four more games to go before next month's Premiership curtain-raiser at home to St Mirren.
