Andy Myers's side, who finished as Premier League 2 runners-up last term,  will travel to Glasgow for their curtain-raiser on Tuesday 13 July to take on Celtic. It will be a 6pm kick-off in Scotland, with the Bhoys hosting at their Lennoxtown training facility.

The young Blues then head to the Midlands for a double-header against Derby County and Stoke City in three days. The first is a 1pm kick-off at the Rams' training ground on Wednesday 21 July, the second a midday start at Clayton Wood on Friday 23 July.

Our only home friendly of pre-season takes place at Cobham four days later as a Portsmouth XI travel up the A3 for a 6pm kick-off before we finish with a pair of away fixtures against the senior sides of non-league Woking (Saturday 31 July, 3pm) and Boreham Wood (Tuesday 3 August, 7pm).

The PL2 season begins on the weekend of 14/15 August.

Meanwhile, our Under-18s mirror the development squad with a visit to Celtic on Tuesday 13 July before further friendlies against Bournemouth (Saturday 24 July) and Fulham (Saturday 7 August), both at Cobham.

Ed Brand's boys will also take part in a mini-tournament at Manchester United's training complex featuring United, Tottenham and Wolves from 29-31 July.

The Under-18 Premier League begins on the same weekend as PL2, with our first outing likely on Saturday 14 August. Further fixture details for both will be confirmed in due course.
