Every team Celtic could draw in the Champions League confirmed

Celtic will be making their long-awaited return to the UEFA Champions League this season. The Hoops have been gone from Europe’s elite competition for way too long and are now finally back where they belong. The fans are already counting down the days to when that famous anthem will hit inside Parkhead once again. One can only imagine the atmosphere.

Celtic have been placed in Pot 4 this time around, following their Premiership triumph last season over the Rangers, overcoming all odds and expectations. Most people had believed that the Ibrox club would have a cakewalk to the title but instead, Ange Postecoglou’s side ended up winning comfortably by four points, despite having lost three of their opening six league games.

Celtic will know that they will come up against some of the best of the best in Europe this time around, as a result of being placed in Pot 4.

And while all the spots have not been filled in the draw yet, every team that Celtic could end up facing in the group stage is now confirmed after Benfica sealed their place in the competition.
