As Celtic face Estonians Kalju in the next round, it would be reasonable to say focus on each game as they come; however, as last night’s 2-1 win at Celtic Park finished, two big names were out of the 3rd Qualifying Round.
Astana and Ludogorets both exited the tournament after aggregate defeats in the 1st Qualifying Round. Astana went out 3-2 to CFR Cluj as Hungarians Ferencváros took the scalp of Ludogorets, winning 5-3 on aggregate.
With this in mind, Moravcik67 on Twitter gave the lowdown on who Celtic could fave in the next round, with some big names awaiting should Celtic topple the Estonian champions.
Greek Champions PAOK are the standouts from the draw and last year’s defeat to AEK Athens remains fresh in the mind for Celtic fans. That is definitely the fixture to avoid.
Although, there are still a few tricky ties awaiting:
Cluj or Maccabi Tel Aviv
Ferencvaros or Valletta
Dundalk or Qarabag
Red Star Belgrade or HJK Helsinki
Maribor or AIK
