Pre-season games are strange beasts.

Lauded and derided in equal measure, they can provide a much-needed football fix for fans as well as giving supporters a chance to watch their new signings in action or keep a lookout for A.Trialist.

Some of this season’s most glamorous fixtures see Celtic take on European giants Real Madrid and Ajax.

Meanwhile Premier League side Everton will also travel north to face Motherwell and Dundee United.
