APOEL (Cyprus), FC Copenhagen, Getafe, Sporting Lisbon and Eintract Frankfurt have been added to the list of non-seeded teams that Celtic can be drawn against in Monday’s Europa League draw.
Last night Club Brugge, Olympiakos, Bayer Leverkusen and Shakhtar Donetsk were established as the worst third placed sides from the Champions League meaning that they will be in the unseeded pot at Monday’s draw.
The full make up of the draw will be established later tonight but by topping their group Celtic have avoided being paired with Ajax, Inter Milan, Benfica, RB Salzburg, LASK (Austria), Basel, Malmo and Sevilla who will also be seeded.
Despite tonight’s 2-0 defeat away to Cluj Neil Lennon’s side were already assured of their seeded spot in the draw with Chris Jullien avoiding the booking that would have ruled him out of the first leg of the Round of 32 tie.
Celtic can’t be drawn against Cluj or another Scottish club but from the last 16 the draw will be completely open.
