Having reached this stage through the Champions route, beating HJK Helsinki and the Puskas Academy over two legs, Celtic were guaranteed a home tie against one of the runners up from the u-19 version of the Champions League group phase.

Valencia finished second to Lyon in Group H with 13 points from six matches meaning that they would have to travel with the winners of the eight ties being played this week going into the last 16 where they will be drawn against the winning teams from group phase.

The semi-finals and final with be staged over a long weekend at UEFA’s Nyon headquarters in Switzerland.

In their first ever UEFA Youth Cup match Celtic won 5-0 away to HJK Helsinki with Aidan Nesbitt grabbing a hat-trick with the other goals coming from Regan Hendry and Calvin Miller. In the return match at Livingston Celtic drew 1-1 with Nesbitt again scoring.

In the second round Celtic lost 1-0 away to the Puskas Academy but pulled that back with a 3-0 win thanks to a double from Calvin Miller either side of a goal from Theo Archibald.

Yesterday Ajax, Anderlecht and Middlesborough reached the last 16 thanks to wins over Sevilla, Arsenal and Dinamo Kiev respectively.
