Is Yokohama v Celtic on TV? Kick-off time, starting line-up and how to watch pre-season friendly in Japan

Celtic kick-off their tour of Japan with a pre-season friendly against Yokohama F Marinos on Wednesday.

The Scottish champions and treble winners continue their build-up for the new campaign under returning manager Brendan Rodgers against the side they hired previous boss Ange Postecoglou from back in 2021.

Yokahama, who are in the middle of the J-League season and defending their title from last year, are now managed by former Rangers defender Kevin Muscat – Postecoglou’s former assistant – and will provide a tough test for Rodgers’ men.
