What has been said ahead of Celtic vs Manchester City?

Speaking after Celtic’s win over DC United, Matt O’Riley said: “It was good fun. First and foremost, Cal (McGregor) will always be our captain but, at the same time, it’s always a proud moment to wear the armband for a club like this, so I’m very happy. Everyone’s looking very sharp and considering it’s this early, that’s really positive and we feel good.

“Regardless of it being pre-season, every game is a must-win game for Celtic. We know that, and that’s the responsibility of playing for this club, but it’s been nice to see such a good turnout.”

City defender Rico Lewis has said: “Honestly, I can’t wait. It’s nice to be away but after a while you want to get back out there. Training is good, but there’s nothing better than playing in a game. It’s a massive chance and opportunity for them (City’s Academy stars), but the main thing is you have to enjoy it.

“It’s not a normal thing for them to be in a first team environment, especially at the level of City. First of all, they need to enjoy it and appreciate that they’re here, but work as hard as they can and be honest with themselves. I’m sure there’s so much quality in them that a few of them will get their chance.”
