Celtic drawn against LASK in Champions League play-off
Celtic will play against Austrian champions LASK in the Champions League play-off round as four other Scottish sides await Europa League and Conference League draws.
The Scottish club Celtic has been paired with Austrian champions LASK for the Champions League play-off round. Meanwhile, Rangers face either Northern Irish champions Larne or Georgian side Iberia Tbilisi in the Europa League play-offs, depending on their performance against Jagiellonia Bialystok. Hearts, who were relegated to the Europa League after losing to Sturm Graz in Champions League qualifying, will play either Danish side AGF Aarhus or Azerbaijani club Sabah, depending on their outcome against Benfica.
Should either Rangers or Hearts lose in the relevant play-offs, they will face opponents from either the Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, or Austria. Celtic will host LASK in the first leg on August 18-19, with the second leg taking place a week later. LASK secured their domestic title for the second time in four years, their first since 1965, and like Celtic, qualified directly for the play-off round.
