Celtic are currently the Only club who have been confirmed as Seeded in next season’s Champions League Playoff Qualifiers.
At the moment only Four clubs are in the playoffs but AEK Athens, LASK and Viking of Norway need to wait and find out if they’re Seeded or Unseeded, which depends on earlier rounds results.
Red Star Belgrade and Dinamo Zagreb are the only 2 clubs in the Champions Path that have more Coefficient points than Celtic but they enter at the 2nd round stage.
The other 3 clubs I mentioned above will want them eliminated to give them a chance of joining Celtic as a seeded club.
The playoff round will consist of 10 clubs with 5 Seeded clubs being paired against 5 Unseeded clubs.
The playoff round Draw will take place on August 3rd with the first leg being August 18th or 19th and the second leg taking place on August 25th or 26th.

Buzz you are sounding over confident

Kairat also had a league decider on the last game of the season against Astana back in October.
Astana were leading at halftime but Kairat scored a 2nd half equaliser to win the league.
They will once again enter at the Qualifying 1st round stage.

I would be surprised if we don't make the conference league.

It’s impossible for Celtic to reach the Conference League.
If we lose our CL Qualifier then we will play in the Europa League Group Stages.
