The Under-23s continue their pre-season build-up tonight (Wednesday) with a trip to Stalybridge Celtic (KO 7.45pm).
Steve Stone’s side completed their training camp in Poland with a 2-1 win over Pogon Szczecin last Saturday.
And the U23s' boss is looking to keep progressing against BetVictor Northern Premier League top-flight side Celtic in a pre-season schedule designed to present a more searching build-up to the Professional Development League season and beyond.
“That’s the next test and we’ve got some really tough tests this year in terms of pre-season games with the likes of Cheltenham coming up,” said Stone.
