Norwich City were defeated in the first part of their Scottish pre-season double header, losing 2-0 to Celtic at Parkhead.

After a poor start, the Canaries had a spell in the ascendency midway through the opening period. Half chances for Teemu Pukki and Milot Rashica came and went before Daizen Maeda opened the scoring for the hosts.

There was a question of offside when Josip Juranovic received the ball out wide, but nothing was given as he squared for Maeda to flick cleverly beyond Tim Krul.

Dean Smith's side started the second half positively but saw the arrears doubled when one of the individual errors that had come to characterise their performance was punished.

Sam McCallum was the culprit on this occasion, gifting the ball to Reo Hatate, who found Giorgos Giakoumakis to tee-up David Turnbull for a smart finish.

The defeat leaves question marks over City's readiness for the Championship season, which kicks off against Cardiff City just a week on from their first loss of the summer.
