Celtic arrive in fine form after putting together back to back wins over Sporting and Newcastle.
Brendan Rodgers’ side were in ruthless form against the Magpies, running out 4-0 winners and showing signs they are ready to pick up where they left off.
The Hoops secured their fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title last season and have firmly reasserted their dominance over domestic rivals.
Only once in the last 14 years has the title left Parkhead, and Rodgers will want to build on that legacy.
So far, pre-season has offered a mix of results for Celtic. Narrow victories over Queen’s Park and Cork City were followed by a 3-2 defeat to Estrela Amadora, but the response has been emphatic.
Wins against Sporting and Newcastle showed a sharper, more organised side, with key players stepping up. Thursday’s game against Ajax offers another chance to test the squad’s readiness before the Premiership campaign begins.
For Ajax, the friendly also represents a key moment in their summer schedule. Last season ended in disappointment after they missed out on the Eredivisie title once again, finishing a single point behind PSV.
A late stumble in form saw them win just one of their final five league fixtures, costing them dearly in the title race. In Europe, their Europa League run ended in the Round of 16 after a heavy defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.
