Lennon pleased with trip
Celtic boss Neil Lennon does not think his team's pre-season preparations could have gone any better and is looking forward to next week's game against FK Sarajevo.
Celtic face the Bosnia and Herzegovina champions next Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League first round qualifier.
The Bhoys have enjoyed their 10-day stay in Austria and Switzerland and played well in their three friendly matches.
"It's been very successful trip," Lennon told the official Celtic website. "We've got a lot of good work in over the last 10 days and we're pretty much injury-free.
"I'm really pleased with the condition the boys are in and I've been really pleased with the performances as well. I've got nothing but positive things to say about the attitude of the players and the backroom staff. Everyone involved in this trip has worked very hard."
The goalless draw against St Gallen on Tuesday left Celtic with two wins and a draw from their three friendly matches.
Odsonne Edouard had a penalty saved in the St Gallen stalemate while Mikey Johnston went close to breaking the deadlock on several occasions.
Lennon added: "It was a tough test considering the majority of them have only had 45 minutes of football. It was a real step up in quality and in the tempo of the game. I'm really pleased we've come through it unscathed."
Celtic are 11/2 to complete the domestic treble of Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup in the 2019/20 season.
