Tottenham strengthen Finnish ties

Tottenham continue to strengthen their ties with Finland.

Spurs will take on Scottish giants Celtic at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium on Saturday, August 2, as part of their preparations for the 2014-15 season.

Former captain Gary Mabbutt spent time with members of the Supporters' Club Finland Spurs last week.

"It was great to spend time with our Finnish supporters in Helsinki, they are a very passionate group," Mabbutt told the club's website. "We have a lot of fans in northern Europe and it is always good to support them in any way we can.

"They are really looking forward to the team being here in August. The fact we are playing Celtic means it is a huge game to be a part of, a full-blooded contest between England and Scotland in Finland, and it is the local fans that will get the benefit of this."
