Celtic Europa Conference League odds as bookies give Ange Postecoglou a slim chance of Tirana triumph

Celtic are on the road to Tirana but the bookies predict their Europa Conference League journey won't go the distance.

Ange Postecoglou's men drop into UEFA's new third-tier competition after bowing out of their Europa League group with nine points.

The might of Bayer Leverkusen and Real Betis proved too strong despite a 3-2 win over the latter on the final matchday.

Now they're into the green-tinted Conference but odds on Celtic lifting the trophy are long.

Bookmakers aren't all that convinced by the Premiership hopefuls but in truth aren't prepared to throw their weight behind any particular team.

Tottenham may be about to receive a covid-related forfeit that would send them crashing out at the group stage but as things stand they're 14/1.

There are then another nine teams until you get to Celtic at 33/1, per Oddschecker.

AZ Alkmaar, the team Postecoglou and co. eliminated in the Europa League play-off, are rated higher at 25/1.

There is a caveat in that. Because Alkmaar and others won their group they progress into the last 16, while Celtic and other sides dropping down from the Europa League must negotiate a play-off against a Conference group runner-up.

One more tie to play will naturally mean tougher odds, although Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City are 15/1.

Overall Celtic are fairly high in the market and you could call it an outside shot at a push, but there are plenty of teams above them.
