St Mirren, who Celtic play in our opening Premiership fixture two weeks on Sunday, do not have the luxury of preseason friendlies against top European opponents, but they will have four competitive League Cup games under their belt as well as three friendlies before they arrive at Celtic Park.
Celtic have one fewer game, but the considerable benefit that tomorrow, we will be tested against Newcastle United, St Mirren have to hope that Annan Athletic are suitable preparation.
Preseason is not about the results, or even the performance. Indeed, Ange Postecoglou’s memorable first season was prefaced by a 2-6 home drubbing by West Ham. The objective is to elevate player fitness and work on tactics. It is a time for risks without consequence, and gives us a chance for an early look at the new arrivals. I would take another drubbing tomorrow if it better prepared us for the challenges next month.
