Celtic fans could hardly contain their joy at drawing Copenhagen in the Round of 32 in the Europa League.
Neil Lennon’s side will travel to the Danish capital on February 20 then host Copenhagen a week later. If Carlsberg did cup draws this is the one that Celtic would have picked.
Copenhagen finished second to Malmo in one of the weakest Europa League groups, picking up nine points to edge out Dinamo Kiev and Lugano.
The Danes had top spot in their grasp going into Matchday 6 but lost 1-0 at home to Malmo with their two wins coming against Swiss side Lugano.
At the halfway stage in the Danish League, Copenhagen are in second place trailing Midtjylland by seven points but that can be cut down to four if they win at home to OB tonight.
The Danish League enjoys a two month winter break with Copenhagen returning to action on February 16, four days before hosting Celtic, with an away match against Esbjerg.

Happy with this draw. It won’t be a walk in the park, but it gives us a fighting chance, it could of been a lot worse.
