The treble winning Celtic FC are returning to Tallaght Stadium this summer to take on Shamrock Rovers.

In preparation for their UEFA Champions League qualification match, the back-to-back treble winning Celtic side will play Rovers on Saturday, July 7 at 3pm.

Last year, Rovers suffered a 9-0 defeat against the Scottish champions in a friendly at Tallaght Stadium.

The Tallaght squad will play Cork City at Turner's Cross the night before the Celtic clash.
