The Premiership champions are back in action in their third friendly tonight as they head to the Czech Republic.
The early mania is starting to ease and that's benefiting the team in hoops. But the Celtic man won the ball but Sehic is struggling. But the play of the Scotland international is a highlight amid a manic opening 32 minutes in Ostrava. Kyogo missed his chance to strike but the ball was eventually recycled to Juranovic and his blazing effort was only a yard past the post. A star on and off the pitch It was a touch too far ahead of the forward and he can only stab wide of the target. It started with an early setback but the football on offer is packed with with verve and swagger. The skipper is driving his team on and his jinking run into the box almost led to the the fourth. The marquee summer arrival - of the players completely new to Parkhead - is a bundle of energy down the left and he is keeping the pace high as Banik Ostrava appear ready to wave the white flag. Straight on and needs a lung bursting run to sniff out the danger but the B team star makes it look easy. And it came out of nowhere as Lawal was unaware of the runner in behind him. But the good outweighed the bad and Postecoglou and his troops return to Glasgow ahead of Saturday's showdown with Blackburn on home turf.
The Scottish champions are in action tonight as they round off their pre-season tour of Austria and Czech Republic.
It's the home side who take the lead in the Czech Republic as Celtic give away a cheap goal. Forrest has been sensational for Celtic in the opening 45 minutes and has been influencial in almost the Hoops have created. Josip Juranovic and O'Reilly are next to try their luck as Celtic look for a third before the break. It's been an entertaining opening 45 minutes in the Czech Republic, and it's Celtic who've come from behind to lead at the break. It's a quick response from Ange Postecoglou's side as a well-worked move down the right by James Forrest and Matt O'Reilly see's Kyogo level from close-range. O'Reilly plays a beautiful no look through ball to the winger on the edge of the box but he's off-balance and fires well over the bar. The two half-time substitutes combine as the Greek forward get's on the end of Anthony Ralston's cross and shows a tremendous piece of acrobatic skills to put it in the top corner. It's a lightening fast counter-attack down the right from Celtic through Abada, who crosses for Maeda, but his header from close-range is thrwarted by the 'keeper. Celtic looked in complete control of this contest but more poor defending from the visitors allows Tijani to slip in behind Lawal and pull one back for Banik. Celtic are continuing to pile on the pressure. Kyogo, O'Reilly, Giakoumakis and Abada all on target for the Hoops in the Czech Republic. But Celtic responded well and Kyogo equalised from close range before Matt O'Riley gave the visitors the lead with a stunning effort.

As is expected in pre-season, though, there are going to be a host of changes at some point in the match, to allow other members of the squad to build up their fitness and sharpness. The Celtic manager has welcomed back injured duo Josip Juranovic and Anthony Ralston, who will both be looking to get minutes in their legs for the first time this pre-season. It should prove to be an interesting test for the Hoops, facing Ostrava, who are well underway with their own pre-season preparations and are taking part in their six friendly match of this summer.

“As a football fan and a person involved in the game I’m always excited about the possibilities of what a season can bring. The flip side of that that is just because we’ve got a more settled pre-season just to think that things are going to run smoothly. “Ultimately, irrespective of what pre-season was like last year what we proved was that we could still be successful. “Last year we created a way of playing that we want to evolve and improve on. We’ve got through the majority of the work we wanted to and most of the players have got through it. We just want to make sure that we provide an environment for the players to work hard and improve and to get them ready for game one.
