Celtic start Champions League campaign against Sarajevo

Celtic's quest to reach the Champions League group stages will start against Bosnian champions FK Sarajevo.

Neil Lennon's men will host the first leg on July 9 or 10th with the return a week later on July 16 or 17.

Celtic will need to navigate four qualifying rounds to make it to the lucrative group stages of Europe's premier club competition.

"We're going into the unknown against a team we've never played and against players we've never faced," said Celtic defender Kieran Tierney.

"It's a hard ask, but the expectation at Celtic is to win and go through and that's what we're planning to do."

Steven Gerrard's Rangers will begin their Europa League qualifying campaign away to Kosovan side Prishtina or St Joseph's of Gibraltar on July 11.

Kilmarnock will meet Welsh side Connah's Quay Nomads in their first European tie in 18 years and Aberdeen face Finland's RoPS Rovaniemi.
