Claudio Ranieri expects a good game on Saturday as Leicester prepare to face Celtic in the International Champions Cup, but made it clear that his side are not yet match ready.
The subject of fitness has been a hot topic around the Foxes camp as they gear up for the challenge of the Champions League, with many having touted the ICC as the perfect opportunity for a dry run.
Ranieri, however, has reined in expectations ahead of the Parkhead clash.
“I expect a very good match,” the Italian boss said. “Celtic will want to beat the champions of the Premier League but we are not ready - we will try our best, Foxes never give up.
“I don't want Celtic or Leicester to get injuries. The result isn't important, what's important is that we improve our fitness because our goal is the August 7 against Manchester United.
“We'll go slow, improving our fitness and remembering how we played last season. It's important to recreate that spirit.”
Ranieri has had dealings with Scottish football before, having been linked with the Hearts job in 2005, but he hasn't ruled out the chance to manage north of the border in the future.
“There was a realistic chance to come to Scotland but it's an old story, I was very young. Maybe I have a future here, I don't know!”
