UEFA have released details of Monday’s Europa League Play Off draw which will include Celtic/Cluj.
While all eyes are on the Play Off draw for the Champions League preparations are also made for the losers of the third round matches to drop into the lesser tournament. Celtic experienced that last season when defeat to AEK Athens saw them face Suduva for a place in the group phase of the Europa League.
