Celtic Champions League travel guide as Madrid, Warsaw and Leipzig await

Punters can't enough of the Champions League draw but the real thing is pretty special too.

Celtic and their supporters have waited five years for a return to European football's top table. And they have a thrilling adventure awaiting them. Every Parkhead diehard has long desired a two-legged dust-up with Real Madrid and now it is here. And the chance to head to the Spanish capital will follow. A visit to Leipzig is certainly appealing with great transport links for other German cities and it should prove to be a popular option.

It would be remiss not to note the sad reason why Shakhtar Donetsk are unable to play in their home region of Donbass, as the ongoing Russia invasion of Ukraine leaves the chances of playing on home turf as an impossibility. Shakhtar have suffered an uncertain few years but will find a temporary home in Warsaw, as they base themselves at Legia's stadium. The circumstances are unfortunate but a trip to Warsaw will likely be well received.
