City's first outing of the summer promises to be quite the occasion

Hull City will play their first friendly of the summer on Wednesday night when they take on Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray in Kocaeli.

Liam Rosenior's players have been out in Turkiye since Sunday night and have spent the last two days training at the Turkish FA's headquarters in Riva, around 30 minutes outside Istanbul.

The City boss will get his first look at his squad and new signing Liam Delap when the Tigers face European royalty in front of what will be a hugely partisan home crowd, with sources suggesting around 20,000 are expected.

After the game, City's players will return to Riva and start to prepare for their second game of the trip down in Bursa on Sunday when they take on Atakas Hatayspor.
