Hoops will face Steaua in friendly

CELTIC have lined up a mid-season friendly against Steaua Bucharest in their winter training camp in Spain next month.

Neil Lennon will be on a spying mission for players

The SPL leaders will jet out to Marbella to take advantage of the warm weather when the league enters its winter break.

Celtic will use the Spanish camp to try and prepare for the rest of the season and the Cham-pions League clash with Juventus in February.

And they will face Romanian giants Steaua at the training camp on January 15.

Steaua – who are 10 points clear at the top of their league – are also in Spain at nearby Malaga for a mid-season break.

It's likely though that Lennon won't be there to watch the match as he revealed this week he will use the break as a spying mission to strengthen his squad and watch matches around Europe.

Lennon said: "I'm going out for the first three or four days and then going to England to watch games."
