CELTIC have discovered the identity of eight possible teams they could meet in the Champions League play-off round.
Brendan Rodgers’ men will go into the draw on Monday to see who will stand between them and the multi-million pound windfall in the league phase of Europe’s elite competition.
The Hoops are a seeded club for the play-off stage, which, in theory at least, should mean an easier draw.
The champions, who will kick off the crusade for a fourteenth title in 15 years against St Mirren on Flag Day in the east end of Glasgow on Sunday, will avoid other seeded sides Bodø/Glimt, Copenhagen, Ferencvaros and Red Star Belgrade.
Possible opponents include Basel, Sturm Graz, Pafos or Dynamo Kyiv, Slovan Bratislava or
Kairat, Qarabag or Shkëndija.
