Celtic will face LASK in the Champions League play-offs. The Hoops avoided a potential rematch with Kairat Almaty, who knocked Celtic out on penalties at the same stage last season following a goalless 210 minutes of action. The first leg will take place on August 18 or 19, with the second leg the following week. The Linz-based club won the Austrian Bundesliga for the second time last season, finishing two points ahead of defending champions Sturm Graz. They have only won one of their last 14 European games and finished 35th in the Conference League last season.
