Neil Warnock has confirmed Cardiff City will once against visit Devon and Cornwall for their pre-season tour while a Spanish side are lined up before the 2018/19 Premier League commences.

The Bluebirds boss, who has a home in Cornwall, took last season's squad to places like Tavistock and Bodmin before a friendly against Plymouth Argyle.

And after lauding the spirit among fans and players that trip generated, Warnock revealed it would be same again in July 2018. The club are expected to officially announce the pre-season schedule in the next week or two.

“People said to be ‘are you going to the Far East or America?’… I said ‘no no, we’re going to Cornwall," the veteran boss told talkSPORT .

“I have a nice week at home, we have two or three local games. In this case we are probably having five or six with the whole Under-23 squad as well.

“We stay at St Mellion, which is a lovely golf resort, and the fans come down in their numbers in caravans and tents for the week. It’s a super week; it’s great for the autograph hunters and we really train well down here.

“We’ve got a nice game against a Spanish team a week before the season starts that we’re going to announce shortly, and we’re going to play a couple of clubs further up north as well.

“It’s a mixture, but it should be enjoyable for our fans.”

Warnock also revealed he had tried to arrange a friendly against either Rangers or Celtic, but couldn't quite come to an agreement.

“I spoke to Brendan (Rodgers), but they start quite a bit earlier. With Celtic we were going to play them the first week we were back in training, but it was a bit too much.

“And Rangers, they don’t know which part of the European (qualifying) rounds (they’ll be in).

“We’d end up playing a reserve team. It wasn’t worth the gamble really. I thought let’s just get on with it."
