The Scottish Premiership champions Celtic are coming off a draw against Ayr United in their recent friendly.

Kyogo Furuhashi scored from the penalty spot, but Ayr United managed to equalise, ending the match 1-1.

Celtic will be looking to secure a victory before they head to the United States for their pre-season tour.

Queen's Park

Queen's Park narrowly avoided relegation last season, finishing eighth in the Championship.

They began their pre-season with a goalless draw against East Fife. The team aims to challenge Celtic despite the significant difference in league status.

Team News

Celtic

Brendan Rodgers' side will miss right-back Alistair Johnston, who is on international duty with Canada.

Bosun Lawal, who started on the bench in the previous match, may get a chance to start.

Celtic have not made any summer signings yet, as they plan to be patient in their transfer dealings.

Queen's Park

Queen's Park will be without midfielder Aaron Healy, who has departed the club. New signing Josh Hinds from Hull City might make his debut.

Ruari Paton, the team’s top scorer from last season, will be the key player to watch.

Prediction

Celtic's quality and depth in the squad are likely to be too much for Queen's Park.

While Queen's Park put up a strong defensive display against East Fife, facing the Scottish champions will be a different challenge altogether.
