I think this is the format of the league path of the CL qualifiers for next season.
Celtic will enter at Round 2.
There will be 6 clubs who finished 2nd in their domestic leagues that will enter this round.
Clubs from Holland, Turkey, Austria, Denmark, Scotland and the Czech Rep.
Celtic will be in the top 3 seeded clubs with the most Co-efficient and they will be drawn against the 3 clubs with the lowest Co-efficient points.
The 3 winners from Round 2 will be joined by 3 clubs who finished 2nd in their domestic leagues from Russia, Belgium and Ukraine.
Also in Round 3,there will be clubs who finished 3rd in their domestic leagues from France and Portugal.
Round 3 will consist of 8 clubs.
The 4 clubs with the highest Co-efficient points will be drawn against the 4 clubs with the lowest Co-efficient points
Timalloy mentioned earlier that Celtic have a 50% chance of being seeded in this round.
The 4 winners from Round 3 will reach the League Path CL playoffs.
The 2 clubs with the highest Co-efficient points will be drawn against the 2 clubs with the lowest Co-efficient points.
Celtic will more than likely be Unseeded in the playoffs if we manage to get that far.
Both winners from the playoffs will reach the CL group stages.
When Celtic enter in Round 2,there will 11 clubs remaining, with only 2 spaces to the group stages of the CL.
It will be a tall order under the current circumstances.

Thanks buzz for explaining. Is going to be a tall order. I'd take Europa league run and league title back for next season.

How does turnbull Nat gets the Scotland squad, been in great form but mcglaulin of sevco not played in months is In before bain, baffling.

16 Mar 2021 14:42:58
Glad he's not included. He's the one player we need to build the team around next season, hopefully stays injury free and gets a good pre season.

16 Mar 2021 15:25:47
He hasn't even played a full 90 minutes for us since his comeback from injury, so I'm fine with him concentrating on his Celtic career for the time being as there are glimpses of a real player there.

16 Mar 2021 16:44:15
OAB what you been watching, there have been more than glimpses mate, this boy has something about him, has a real swagger about him that i love to see, just need some players round about him that can read his game then his class and ability will shine through.

16 Mar 2021 16:45:21
Neither has mcghlaulin.

16 Mar 2021 11:24:54
I just read this article

Apparently in Russia Zenit look like thay will win their league
Spartak Moscow are in second one point above CSKA
The interesting thing is that IF Spartak finish second Celtic will be SEEDED in our third round qualifying CL
So Come on Spartak.

16 Mar 2021 12:51:03
Do sevco go straight into the champs league next season or do they have a playoff, and the following season we go straight in?

16 Mar 2021 13:25:54
I think next season is playoff it's the following one is automatic qualification.

16 Mar 2021 14:18:41
Wyllie
Sevco will have 2 qualifiers to play in the summer.
They are not guaranteed to be seeded in both.
Celtic will have 3 qualifiers to play.
We will be seeded in round 2 and if we get past that round and Spartak finish above CSKA, we will also be seeded in round 3.
Celtic will be more than likely to be unseeded in the CL playoffs if we manage to get that far.

We should know on Thursday night if the following season will be automatic qualification to the CL group stages.

16 Mar 2021 15:04:35
Is our qualification section harder? I got told we playing 4th placed teams out the top 5 leagues.

16 Mar 2021 16:10:48
GAR
I’m sure the hardest nations Celtic could meet in the CL qualifiers are France and Portugal.
We could potentially meet the clubs who finish 3rd in those countries.
Celtic could also meet clubs who finish 2nd in their countries, like Ukraine, Russia, Denmark and Turkey Etc.
Lubo67 put the potential Celtic path up a few weeks ago.
I don’t think the top leagues like England need to play any qualifiers anymore for the CL.
The rich are getting richer.

16 Mar 2021 16:45:55
So no champions league football again 😂.

16 Mar 2021 18:17:25
Ya sorry buzz meant to say if the remain Scottish club has a better result than the Russians clubs then it's automatic qualification the year after Next.

16 Mar 2021 05:13:24
I would like to put an early morning thought out there.
Since NL has left all media outlets have stop printing what is happening at Celtic Park. No team selection leaks, transfers and most importantly who is coming in or going out. Perhaps NL was to close to his media pals.
P. S. I am not sad and awake at 5am but am going to work HA HA.

16 Mar 2021 07:10:12
It's a fair shout Jonace but it's likely 'the leak' was just another in the long list of sub professional standards employed at the club under NL.

16 Mar 2021 09:04:05
jonace I don’t think Neil Lennon had any media pals, since the day he arrived at Celtic they have more or less persecuted him along with everyone else with no connection to Celtic making him out to be the bad guy.

16 Mar 2021 12:40:50
The leak was Craig Gordans burd there's not been any leaks since the Summer if you get my drift. Certainly wasn't Lenny FS.

{Ed007's Note - There were team's getting leaked this season and Gordon was away, she left Celtic TV in February 2017.}

16 Mar 2021 13:05:51
Why would Neil Lennon tell the media his team line up?

Doing so would give the opposition an advantage and detrimental to keeping his job.

That being said he may have released details about individual players if they pissed him off.

16 Mar 2021 13:35:34
All didn't have to say anything to the media any one and everyone knew who was Playing if fit same formation same time for substitutions same way to play.
