Ange Postecoglou’s team will begin their competitive matches tomorrow night when they host Midtjylland at Celtic Park in the first leg, and the winner will advance to the Third Qualifying Round.
With the draw taking place at 11am this morning, Celtic will know exactly what is next for them should they beat the Danes, as well as discover their potential Europa Conference League opponents should they lose.
If the Hoops lose to Midtjylland, they’ll face one from Jablonec or Anorthosis Famagusta, but it’s the Champions League draw that fans are most concerned about.
There are some tough draws for Postecoglou’s team if they advance with players like Spartak Moscow and PSV Eindhoven lurking in the third qualifying round.
