Lawwell: Celtic to send strongest possible squad for September 9 clash with Cork City

CORK CITY have revealed their much-anticipated friendly with Scottish giants Celtic at Turner’s Cross will take place on Wednesday September 9.

The proceeds of the friendly — which will be run by the FAI — will go towards to paying off the loan City received to pay the Revenue when the Leeside outfit got into serious financial trouble recently.

While the friendly takes place just a day after a programme of international games, Celtic have vowed to send as “strong a squad as possible” to Leeside.
