CELTIC continue their pre-season schedule this afternoon with a friendly against Banik Ostrava.
The Czech outfit finished fifth in their domestic league last season and are the third team to face Ange Postecoglou's men this summer, after Wiener Viktoria were defeated 7-0 a week ago.
The Premiership champions played out a 3-3 draw with Rapid Vienna on Saturday and Postecoglou has made five changes to his starting line-up.
Joe Hart holds onto his place in goal while Stephen Welsh and Cameron Carter-Vickers have retained their places in central defence. Josip Juranovic and Greg Taylor have come in for Osaze Urhogide and Alexandro Bernabei respectively.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
