As the dust settles on a momentous weekend, Celtic supporters worldwide can rejoice in the knowledge that the Hoops have secured their place among Europe’s elite for the 2023/24 Champions League campaign.
The Bhoys clinched the league title with a 2-0 victory against Hearts at Tynecastle on Sunday, ensuring their place among the top eight clubs already confirmed for next season’s premier competition.
Celtic will join the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Barcelona, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Red Star Belgrade in the coveted Champions League group stage. The road to European success, whatever that looks like, will be no easy feat, but the Hoops’ faithful have every reason to be optimistic under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou.
Since taking the reins in the summer of 2021, Postecoglou has revolutionised the Celtic squad, instilling a winning mentality and forging an indomitable team spirit.
The Australian gaffer has won the hearts of the Parkhead faithful with his relentless pursuit of success and will no doubt be relishing the opportunity to pit his wits against Europe’s finest once again.
Celtic’s journey to the group stage of the Champions League is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and resilience of the entire squad. The Bhoys have demonstrated time and again their ability to rise to the occasion. Winning when it really counted.
But before the focus shifts to next season’s Champions League, there is still one final hurdle for the Hoops to overcome. Celtic have the opportunity to secure a historic treble when they face Inverness at Hampden on June 3rd. A victory in the Scottish Cup final would be the perfect way to cap off a remarkable season, and there’s no doubt that Postecoglou and the team will be giving their all to bring even more silverware back to Paradise.
