CELTIC will be a Pot 2 team if they beat Sarajevo on Thursday night. The Scottish Champions have a slim chance at Pot 1 as usual expert Moravcik67 gave an update of what the Europa League group stages may look like should Celtic navigate past the Bosnian Champions.
The UEFA expert detailed that if Celtic get through, they will be in Pot 2 due to the coefficient earned in the past.
2. There will likely be a number of differences in reality, given how unpredictable qualifiers have been this season.
If the Scottish teams win on Thursday
– Celtic will be Pot 2, with a slim chance of Pot 1.

Upon looking at the teams detailed in the post, Celtic could potentially draw former foes Copenhagen, Rapid Vienna and Cluj. There are a number of teams that would be ideal to draw, should we get there, but as a result of the restrictions and lack of supporters, Celtic fans may want to avoid the best destinations and draw winnable matches.
Cluj eliminated Celtic from the Champions League in 2019 but were beaten on their return to Celtic Park in the Europa League that season, Copenhagen beat Celtic in the Round of 32 last year but they were there for the taking and supporters will want another chance at beating them.
And then Rapid for obvious reasons.
There is also a chance that Celtic could draw Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, who will be in Pot 3. The draw is contingent upon beating Sarajevo which is what we as the support and the team need to focus on before thinking about who we may draw in the next stages.
