Celtic aim to complete Champions League qualification against LASK

Celtic take a commanding 3-0 lead into their UEFA Champions League play-off second leg against LASK, with the Scottish side looking to secure their place in the 2026-27 league phase on Tuesday.

The decisive match will be played at Raiffeisen Arena, where LASK must overturn a three-goal deficit after Celtic produced a strong display in the first leg at home. The result has left Celtic in a powerful position and within touching distance of officially confirming their progress.

A place in the league phase would complete the next step of Celtic’s Champions League campaign, while LASK face the difficult task of scoring at least three times without conceding if they are to take the tie into a more competitive position.

The match has also attracted increased attention from Arab supporters, particularly in Egypt, following the arrival of Egyptian international Haitham Hassan at Celtic. His move to the Scottish club has led to greater interest among Egyptian fans in Celtic and their European fixtures.
