​West Ham confirm preseason friendly with Celtic

West Ham United are ready to play Celtic in a pre-season friendly in July.

The Hammers will take on the Scottish giants on July 24th in Glasgow, which would be the club's first game at the iconic stadium in more than 20 years.

West Ham also revealed that away fans should get a full allocation of tickets for the match, as COVID-19 restrictions are likely to be gone by then.

David Moyes' side will have to focus during pre-season, as they are entering the Europa League next season thanks to finishing sixth in the Premier League.

The added pressure of European football will take its toll on the team, and facing a European heavyweight such as Celtic is good preparation in preseason.
