Celtic have confirmed they will face Dutch giants Ajax in a pre-season friendly in Amsterdam.
The fixture, which will take place on Saturday, July 21, is the first meeting between the two sides since Martin O'Neill's team emerged 3-2 winners on aggregate in the Champions League qualifiers in 2001.
Ajax, managed by former Rangers defender Frank de Boer, won their second Eredivisie title in 2011/12, finishing six points ahead of Feyenoord.
The two teams have faced each other six times in competitive games, with Celtic winning on three occasions, Ajax twice and one match finishing in a draw.
