Celtic have cancelled their pre-season tour of South Korea, it has been confirmed. 

Brendan Rodgers' side were supposed to be playing in South Korea after they visited Japan as part of their pre-season preparations. 

Their glamour clash with Wolves on July 26 was cancelled after the Molineux club pulled out because of financial concerns about the trip, with Jose Mourinho's Roma also withdrawing previously. 

A club statement read: “It is with deep regret that Celtic Football Club has been forced to withdraw from our match in South Korea.

“The Hoops were originally due to play English Premier League side, Wolves, later this month, but numerous financial and logistical operations were not met by the tour promoter, and after weeks of delays, the Club has taken the difficult decision to terminate the contract and pull out of the tour. 

“The Club and the players were excited about visiting South Korea and giving our fans the opportunity to see the team, but unfortunately, due to factors entirely outwith our control, we have been left with no other option than to withdraw from the match. 

“Brendan Rodgers’ side will head to Japan for two matches against Yokohama F. Marinos (July 19) and Gamba Osaka (July 22) before returning to Lennoxtown to continue their pre-season preparations.”
