Lyon confirmed on Friday that they would host Glasgow giants Celtic and Rangers as well as Ligue 1 rivals Nice in a friendly tournament on July 16-18. The announcement followed the decision earlier in the day that the Scottish league season would start on August 1 and that Scottish clubs could start playing friendlies at once. Scotland, like France, decided not to resume its 2019-20 league season after it was halted by coronavirus. French government guidelines allow for a crowd of 5,000 at the Groupama Stadium. Lyon said that on the first day they would invite front-line health workers. fjt/ag/pb/jc
