With another Premiership title within touching distance, Celtic will soon be gearing up for another crack at the Champions League group stage.
Victory away to Hearts on Sunday will see Ange Postecoglou clinch a second successive Scottish crown and a return to Europe’s top table. This term saw them pit their wits against holders Real Madrid, RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk. Despite some competitive displays, the Hoops failed to register a victory and Postecoglou will be hoping they’ve learned from the experience and can give the fans more to shout about next season.
But they will have to be clever with their summer recruitment with Europe in mind. Celtic are permitted 17 players who weren't trained in Scotland within their squad for the competition. They currently have that number in their ranks just now, with more coming back from loan at the end of the current campaign, although none are likely to feature and will likely be moved on in the summer.
