Celtic and Rangers potential Champions League opponents as group stage draw pots are confirmed

The Champions League playoff round ties have all been settled and Celtic and Rangers now know the make up of Thursday's draw.

Gio van Bronckhorst has been there and done it in this competition as a player and manager and now he'll watch on from the Ibrox dugout as his charges grace the top European stage just as he did in royal blue. It's all new for Ange Postecoglou and he's had to wait for the draw in Istanbul after last season's Premiership title win ensured the Hoops went straight into the hat for this stage.

The champions already had a rough idea of who they could be drawn against in Istanbul on Thursday, and now their fiercest rivals are in the mix as well, although they can't be drawn together.. Giants such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are all top seeds, alongside mega rich Paris-SG, Ajax, Porto, AC Milan and Rangers’ Europa League final foes, Eintracht Frankfurt. They'd likely be the team that Celtic want to draw from Pot 1, but famous last words and all that after their exploits in Seville.
