Premier League club Norwich City will go up against Scottish champions Celtic at Celtic Park for their sixth pre-season friendly on Saturday.
Celtic, who recently landed their 10th league title in 11 years, are unbeaten in pre-season so far and started off their preparations with a 7-0 thumping of Austrian third-tier club Wiener Wiktoria.
