Who Celtic could face in the Europa League group stage as possible Midtjylland revenge chance looms

Ange Postecoglou could get the opportunity to launch a Celtic revenge mission in the Europa League group stage.

The Premiership side take a two-goal advantage into the crucial second leg with Eredivise runners-up AZ Alkmaar on Thursday.

It Celtic can see off their Dutch opponents there are some tasty ties to look ahead to in Friday's draw.

Top of the list would a potential clash with Midtjylland, who sent the club crashing out of the Champions League earlier this season.

There won't be a chance of a Celtic Park return for former boss Brendan Rodgers, with Leicester in the same pot as the Hoops as one of the 12 teams to automatically qualify.

However, West Ham, who demolished Postecoglou's men in Glasgow's east end in pre-season, could be in the same group.

Ferencvaros, who have also piled misery on Celtic in Europe, are among the teams to drop into second tier of European competition after defeat to Young Boys in their Champions League playoff.
