Celtic anticipate another Champions League campaign subsequent to their victory in the Scottish Premiership this season.
After Celtic defeated RB Leipzig and secured a draw against former Europa League champions Atalanta in Bergamo, Brendan Rodgers elevated the Parkhead club’s profile in UEFA’s premier level competition.
In addition, Celtic nearly secured a historic victory over Bayern Munich in Germany by advancing to the final seconds of extra time with a Nicolas Kuhn goal. The Bhoys are now preparing to depart on another European adventure in the Champions League next season.
Nevertheless, Rodgers must navigate a challenging third-round qualifier in order to advance to the league phase. However, the challenge was alleviated last night as a result of a development in the Croatian league.
Following the confirmation of Celtic’s seeding in the Champions League, which teams have they bypassed?
In the past, Celtic have encountered difficulties during Champions League qualifiers. Rodgers needed to achieve seeding status in order to circumvent some of the more challenging teams in the third round in order to secure a simpler path to the league phase.
Celtic has earned the seeding status and has avoided the following teams after Rijeka defeated Dinamo Zagreb to claim the league title:
Bodo/Glimt FC Copenhagen
Crvena Zvezda
Ferencvaros
In the event that Celtic avoids certain challenging teams, which team will they potentially face in the significant third round qualifier?
