The two huge clubs Celtic could draw in Champions League knockout play-offs Celtic await their fate ahead of a first Champions League knockout tie in 12 years.
Celtic are through to the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time since 2013, with Brendan Rodgers’ side now awaiting their fate ahead of Friday’s play-off draw.
And with a comfortable lead over rivals Rangers in the Scottish Premiership title race and the League Cup already secured, Celtic can start dreaming of knockout football returning to Parkhead for the first time since losing out to Juventus in February 2013.
The 1967 European champions have benefitted from the new-look Champions League format and ensured their progression to the knockout rounds with a game to spare, despite a 7-1 hammering away to Borussia Dortmund early on.
By finishing 21st, Celtic ensured they will face either the 11th-place team (Real Madrid) or the 12th-place team (Bayern Munich), with Manchester City, who finished 22nd, facing the other one.
