City will begin their pre-season training in earnest when they leave for Scotland on Wednesday evening.

The Blues will base themselves in St Andrews ahead of friendly games with Dundee and Hearts and mcfc.co.uk will be with the team every step of the way.

Each day there will be exclusive content featuring interviews with the players, management and backroom staff and the various training sessions as we cover the new season preparations with new innovative technology that will bring you closer to the action than ever before and provide fascinating insights into how the lads will be gearing up to defend the Premier League title.

#Ask will make a welcome return during pre-season so if you want to pit your question to the lads, keep your eye on our official Twitter account for shout-outs for various players.

We’ll also be looking at the science behind pre-season training and have our exclusive behind the scenes galleries and a few surprises along the way, too.

And you can also tune in each day for Today on Tour – our summer version of City Today – which will have a comprehensive round-up  of each day during the Scottish leg of pre-season and again when City jet out on their US tour.

There will be plenty of exclusive content on all our official social media channels including Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube and there will be audio extras on Bubbly.

Of course, we’ll also have our usual in-depth coverage of all the Blues’ tour matches including pre-match build-up, live updates, match reports and post-match reaction.
