Between this month and January, Brendan Rodgers’ team will play eight games against teams throughout the continent in a newly designed league phase in an attempt to secure a spot in the round of 16. They will be eager to secure a play-off spot, if only as a means of advancing to the next round.
They play Slovan Bratislava at home to start the season, but they also have some exciting away games against Borussia Dortmund, Atalanta, Dinamo Zagreb, and Premier League team Aston Villa. Already, fans will be rushing to reserve their away days.

Cars, buses and trains can be used on the trip to Birmingham for action against Villa, but Manchester Airport have offered alternate paths to the rest of Europe for Celtic fans, as opposed to jetting out from Scottish airports. Additionally, Hoops supporters will arrive in time for a legendary celebration at one of their venues. Examine the descriptions of the airport provided below.

Borussia Dortmund – October 1st

“The Scottish champions are amongst Europe’s elite once again this year and begin their Champions League campaign with a trip to last season’s beaten finalists. Dortmund is around 40 minutes by train from Dusseldorf airport, and Hoops fans will be arriving in time for Dortmund’s Oktoberfest celebrations, which run from 27 September – 5 October and are centred on a giant marquee in Wischlingen park.”

Atalanta – October 23rd

“Last season’s Europa League winners Atalanta are based in Bergamo, a small city just outside Milan. It has its own airport, the aptly named Milan-Bergamo Airport, and you can get direct flights here from Manchester with Ryanair. Take the cable car from Bergamo city centre up a steep hill to the ‘Citta Alta’, or ‘Upper Town’ – where cobbled medieval streets are well preserved, and viewpoints offer breathtaking panoramas over the city.”

Dinamo Zagreb – December 10th

“If you’re planning to watch the Bhoys in Zagreb, you can fly from Manchester to Vienna and then jump on a direct Flixbus service to the Croatian capital. The city is yet to take off as a tourist hotspot, but its claim to fame is as the home of the world’s shortest funicular, which is just 66m long and takes less than a minute from end to end.”
