Celtic return to European action for the 24th consecutive season and will face trips to Frances, Romania and Italy in the Europa League group stage.
Boss Neil Lennon - his first full season since becoming Celtic manager for the second time - will want his side to emulate last season's round of 32 achievement but will face tought competition against Rennes, Cluj and group favourites Lazio.
A strange moment comes as they will face CFR Cluj twice after they met in the third round of qualifying in the Champions League.
Cluj were victors over two legs but suffered defeat in the next round and will visit Glasgow for a second time this season.
