Celtic and Rangers learn Champions League opponents
Celtic and Rangers await Champions League play-off opponents as Celtic faces Slovan Bratislava or Kairat Almaty, while Rangers could play RB Salzburg or Club Brugge if they overcome Viktoria Plzen. The ties will be held on 19/20 and 26/27 August with the winners advancing to the league phase, and the losers moving to the Europa League.
