When Celtic Champions League group games will be confirmed

Celtic last night discovered their opponents for this season's Champions League.

Brendan Rodgers' side will take on Feyenoord, Atletico Madrid, and Lazio in the group stage of the 2023/24 competition.

The Hoops were drawn from Pot 4 in Monaco on Thursday evening, and have been handed a tough group, but certainly not the worst possible.

As per usual, group stage matches will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from September to December.

And Celtic are set to learn their exact Champions League matchday fixtures by this weekend.

UEFA states that the fixture list will likely be published in full today. 

However, European football's governing body says they would be released on Saturday at the latest.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest were the club to have an offer for Rocco Vata rejected, according to a report.

It emerged on Wednesday night that Celtic had knocked back a six-figure bid from an unnamed Premier League side for the academy talent, insisting he is not for sale as the transfer deadline approaches.

Celtic want Vata to stay at Parkhead as he enters the final year of his contract, but the 18-year-old is believed to have grown frustrated with a lack of first team opportunities. He has been a regular fixture for the B team in the Lowland League.

But despite being included in the travelling squad for Celtic's pre-season tour of Japan, he has not been involved in the first team since. His situation has alerted various interested, with Club Brugge and Torino credited with an interest.
