And that game will be played on Wednesday, August 20, with an 8pm kick-off, as per UEFA's website.

The return leg - wherever that will be - is set to take place six days later on Tuesday, August 26, also with an 8pm kick-off.

Celtic are guaranteed league phase football in Europe this season, as if the Scottish Premiership champions fail to advance then they would drop into the Europa League.
