By making it to the group stages for the first time, Elena Sadiku’s team has the opportunity to create history. Since the competition started in the 2021/22 season, no Scottish club has ever accomplished this.

Having defeated FC Gintra of Lithuania and Finnish team KuPS to get to this point, Celtic will be hosting a European match for the first time on Scottish soil.
