Celtic vs Midtjylland Champions League date and kick off times revealed for both legs

The dates for Celtic's crunch Champions League second qualifying round with FC Midtjylland have been released.

The first leg will take place at Parkhead on Tuesday, July 20 with a 7.45pm kick-off before the return leg in Herning eight days later which has a 6.45pm start time.

New boss Ange Postecoglou will be hoping the clash with the Danes will the be the first part of three-tie gauntlet that sees them end a four-year absence from the group stage.

Celtic face a stern test of their credentials with the likes of Shakhtar Donetsk and Benfica lurking in later rounds but Midtjylland themsleves will be no pushovers.

Postecoglou faces a quick turnaround as his players return to pre season this week before he joins up with them after he completes his quarantine period.

He then will oversee pre-season before he and his new players head to Wales and a pre-season against Sheffield Wednesday.

Celtic face Preston July 17 before they welcome the Champions League foes to Parkhead three days later.
