Potential Celtic opponents in Champions League play-off confirmed

Celtic now know the eight possible clubs they could face in the Champions League play-off round.

The Parkhead club enter the play-off round of the competition later this month.

Victory in the play-off round would see Celtic advance to the league phase of the Champions League.

Celtic are a seeded club for the play-off round, in theory meaning an easier draw.

They will avoid Bodo/Glimt, Copenhagen, Ferencvaros and Red Star Belgrade, who are also seeded for the draw.

Possible opponents for Celtic include Basel, Sturm Graz, Pafos or Dynamo Kyiv, Slovan Bratislava or Kairat, Qarabag or Shkendija.

The draw will take place on Monday, August 4.
