Celtic have confirmed that their League Cup campaign will kick off under the lights on Friday, August 15th at 7:45pm, with Falkirk the visitors to Celtic Park.

It’s a rare Friday night fixture at Parkhead, and one that will mark the beginning of the Hoops’ trophy defence in the competition they dramatically won last December. Brendan Rodgers’ side lifted the League Cup trophy after a thrilling 3-3 draw against Rangers, eventually prevailing on penalties in a Hampden classic.
