Elena Sadiku’s team have a chance to make history by reaching the group stages for the first time. No Scottish club has ever done so since the competition began in the 2021/22 season.

It will be the first time Celtic have hosted a European game on Scottish soil, following wins over Finnish side KuPS and FC Gintra of Lithuania to advance to this stage.
