The Irish League side drew first blood midway through the second half on Saturday when Liam Boyce found the target with a header.

But the Hoops, who were not at full-strength but still had plenty of quality on display, responded well and equalised soon after.

Teenage midfielder Anthony Watt found the mark to make it 1-1.

And the Scottish champions went ahead ten minutes later, this time Calum McGregor was the man to get himself on the scoresheet with a fine finish.

It looked like the winning goal but Cliftonville hit back just before the end with a strike from super sub Joe Gormley.

The goal secured a 2-2 draw on a day that will live long in the memory of Reds fans.

"It was a great workout for ourselves," Cliftonville coach Peter Murray told UTV.

"We played some lovely football, had to make plenty of changes to give all the lads a bit of a game but very, very positive and we're looking forward to the new season."

The reds over priced this game and that is why there was a very poor turn out. There should be a better crowd for the Swansea game on the 8th August.

Watched the goals on tv and noticed that the crowd was a lot less when the reds played Linfield in their last game at Solitude

Can't believe it was £19 into this game to see a Celtic kids team play Cliftonville. It was actually cheaper to see the full Celtic team play Inter Milan in Glasgow yesterday. Is it right that local fans should be charged such extortionate prices to see a team advertised as 'Celtic'??

See there was about the same amount of people at this as there was at Celtic park yesterday for inter match!!!
