This summer is certainly going to be a busy one for the Celtic supporters.
With the Celtic transfer rumours already starting, it’s clear that Brendan Rodgers is looking to get business done early.
The transfer window opens on the 12th of June and Celtic will have until the 29th of August to get all and any business done.
With a Champions League qualifier on the horizon, summer friendlies and Kieran Tierney’s return from Arsenal, the Celtic manager and the fans have a lot of plates spinning this summer, so here are the big dates the Parkhead supporters need to watch out for.

Kieran Tierney’s return date and potential Celtic debut dates
The return of Kieran Tierney to Celtic from Arsenal is a date that has been long-awaited by the Parkhead support.
Brendan Rodgers confirmed the transfer earlier this season and with Tierney’s contract set to expire on the 30th of June, the Arsenal man is set to arrive at Celtic on the 1st of July.
So when Tierney officially becomes a Celtic player, when can fans expect to see him in the green and white Hoops again?
Celtic will play Cork on the 8th of July in a summer friendly in Ireland and the Bhoys will then face Newcastle later in the month on the 19th of July.
MORE CELTIC STORIES
The SPFL will release their fixture dates for next season on the 20th of June where Celtic fans will have an idea of when Tierney will make his Scottish Premiership debut.
Four huge Champions League dates Celtic fans need to know
The Champions League is massive for Celtic and the fans. With more glamour ties expected should the Bhoys make the league phase, the money the club can earn from the competition is extremely important for Rodgers and his transfer budget.
So with that in mind, here are four dates Celtic fans need to know:
August 4th – Champions League play-off draw. Celtic are seeded for the draw and could face the likes of Sturm Graz, FC Basel and FCSB.
August 19th or 20th – First leg of the play-off.
August 26th or 27th – Second leg of the play-off.
August 28th – Champions League draw.
With so much going on this summer, there is plenty to capture the interest of the Celtic support.
