What was once a regular European fixture, particularly in the Champions League, this will be the first time the two sides have met in nearly six years, with the last being a closed-doors affair at the San Siro during the 2020/21 season.
Despite going 2-0 in front that night, the home side ran out 4-2 winners, winning the Celtic Park fixture 3-1 two months before.
Arguably the most memorable fixture between the two sides was the famous 2007 clash at Celtic Park, when Scott McDonald’s last-minute goal sealed a 2-1 victory in a dramatic night in the Champions League group stage.
