Wilson's side will tour Austria as part of their pre-season preparations

Swindon Town manager Danny Wilson says the club are close to securing pre-season friendlies with Panathinaikos and Steaua Bucharest.

The latter are former European Champions while the Greek side boast ex-Premier League players such as Djibril Cisse and Gilberto Silva.

If the matches go ahead, they will make up part of the Robins' tour of Austria in July.

Wilson said: "They'll be two tough fixtures against two top teams.

"We'll have to wait and see because it's not actually confirmed yet but it is likely we'll play those two."
