Celtic are set for a major Champions league qualifier boost with the club poised to be seeded throughout the competition as cited by RecordSport.
Celtic will face one off ties for the first three rounds and should they get that far – they will play a final two legged playoff round, again as the seeded team most likely.
We had A LOT of messages about the 9IAR keyring after it sold out very quickly this morning.
We've decided to run a small pre-order which will go until midnight Sunday. https://t.co/bOnCWZbGBe

It means Celtic will avoid some heavy hitters BUT as we saw back in February, being the top seeding doesn’t guarantee victory when the bhoys were dumped out of the Europa League by Copenhagen.
The players have to be more vigilant than ever with one slip costing them their chance at the group stage and if they go out in the early rounds, it would mean no European football at all.
The qualifiers will start in August, after the SPFL season has already kicked off. Hopefully the bhoys will be up to scratch when the games come along.
