CELTIC will be up against some very tough opposition in the knockout stages of the Europa League after the bhoys qualified on Thursday evening.

The draw which will take place on Monday 17th December will see the bhoys be paired with one of a number of very high profile teams.

Here is the full list of potential opponents.

Bayer Leverkusen, Zenit St Petersburg, Dinamo Zagreb, Arsenal, Real Betis, Villarreal, Eintracht Frankfurt, Genk, Sevilla, Dynamo Kyiv, Chelsea, Napoli, Valencia, Inter or Benfica.

There are two potential battle of Britain matches along with some mouth-watering ties against Valencia, Sevilla and maybe a rematch with Inter or Zenit in this competition.

Whoever Celtic get, they must look to up their game if they want to get any further in the Europa League.

Who do you fancy from this lot? A glamourous tie or perhaps take less high profile opponents and hope for a good transfer window?

It’s going to be an interesting January window.
