It has been confirmed this afternoon, that Celtic will be seeded in both the second and third (if we advance) round of Champions League qualifiers.
With Brondby’s Danish League win, and former Celt Erik Sviachenko’s side Midtjylland securing the two Champions League spots ahead of Copenhagen it now officially means that Celtic will be seeded in the first two rounds of Champions League qualifying.
This also sets a pathway of who Celtic could face in the second qualifying round come the end of July.
At this stage, the three sides we could be set to face are Midtjylland, Rapid and Galatasaray with the draw for this taking place on the 16th of June.

However, there could still be a twist to come. If English side Manchester United are to win the Europa League on Wednesday night, the only two sides we could be drawn against are Midtjylland and Rapid.
If we are to win the second round qualifier, it will at the very least guarantee that we will be playing Europa League football next season.
With the current overhaul and quick turnaround that is set to come for this squad, the European qualifiers have become an even harder task than they were in previous years. So preparation becomes even more important in the next few weeks and months.
