This will be against a senior professional club, but the opposition is not being named at this time.

Both of the friendly matches are officially behind closed doors, but Cobblers supporters in the area will be able to watch the game as invited guests via prior arrangement with the club.

Following the week north of the border, the Cobblers will travel home ahead of their meeting with Sky Bet Championship side West Bromwich Albion at Sixfields on Wednesday, July 13.

The Sixfields Travel Club had initially planned to run a trip to Scotland for the week, but they have now cancelled those plans.
