Celtic host LASK Linz at Celtic Park on Wednesday, August 19, in a Champions League qualifying match. The game kicks off at 8 p.m., with live coverage on TNT Sports 1 from 7:30 p.m. and streaming available through HBO Max for TNT subscribers and Celtic Player. Both teams are unbeaten this season, while Celtic will be without Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain because of a European suspension. Cameron Carter-Vickers says last season's early elimination has increased Celtic's motivation, and LASK manager Dietmar Kühbauer has reaffirmed his commitment to the Austrian club despite receiving an offer from Russia.

Arthur Okonkwo appears likely to leave Wrexham after falling behind new £8 million signing Anthony Patterson and Danny Ward in the goalkeeper pecking order. Charlton Athletic, Bolton Wanderers and Derby County are reportedly interested, while Okonkwo is entering the final year of his contract. The 24-year-old played a key role in Wrexham’s rise through the divisions, recording 47 clean sheets in 121 appearances and earning a Nigeria call-up.

Hull City have reportedly made a £10 million bid for Swansea City striker Zan Vipotnik, but former Swansea forward and BBC pundit Andy Robinson called the offer “pathetic” and said the Slovenian should be valued at £20 million to £25 million. Vipotnik scored 23 league goals, or 25 in all competitions, last season and assisted in Swansea’s 2-1 win at Stoke City. Robinson believes Swansea should keep him unless Hull substantially increases its offer, while also praising Swansea’s squad depth and financial position.
