Celtic Europa League fixtures revealed as Hoops open with trip to Rennes

Celtic will open their Europa League group stage campaign with a trip to Rennes.

The Hoops will head to France on September 19 after sealing their spot in the tournament with a thumping aggregate win over AIK on Thursday night.

The Premiership champions will then host Champions League foes Cluj before also welcoming Lazio to Parkhead.

The Romanians dumped Neil Lennon 's side out in the third qualifying round before faltering themselves against Slavia Prague.

And the Celtic boss has welcomed the opportunity to avenge the Cluj defeat.

He said: "It's a great draw.

"There's a couple of glamour games there and obviously a chance to maybe exact some sort of retribution to Cluj as well.

"Rennes are a good side, they won the cup last season, which is no mean feat beating PSG in the final. They have some very talented, quick players.

"And of course Lazio is a great draw, very glamorous and a trip to Rome as well. That's something everyone here will look forward to."
