Celtic get their Champions League campaign underway on Wednesday night with a home game against Slovakian side Slovan Bratislava at Celtic Park.
Celtic have made a perfect start to their new campaign as they seek a fourth consecutive league title, having also won 13 of the last 14 Scottish Premiership titles.
The Glasgow side sit top of the table five games into the new season with maximum points, ahead of Aberdeen only on goal difference but notably are already five points clear of local rivals Rangers, who are expected to be their biggest threat in their title chase. The Slovak side have already played 15 matches in all competitions this season, losing only one of those, with Vladimir Weiss' side looking strong their quest for a seventh straight league title in Slovakia, having won five out of six in the league leaving them top of the table.
The Slovakian champions beat Slovenian side Celje 6-1 on aggregate in the second qualifying round, which was followed by a 2-0 victory over Cypriot side APOEL, and finally a dramatic 4-3 win over Danish side Midtjylland, which saw Slovan score twice in the last eight minutes of the second leg to win the tie.
