Students of data, statistics and analysis are in for a treat next season with Celtic capable of ending up in any of three European competitions.

The introduction of the Conference is aimed at opening up European football to more clubs but it could be an almighty comedown for any club aiming for the riches of the Champions League to drop into the third-tier competition.

Bhoys Analytics have put in a power of work to drive through the various options to see what could be in store for a new manager with Celtic almost certain to start in the non-Champions route to the Champions League.

After years of being seeded in the champions route Plan B will look very different with Celtic likely to be unseeded in the third and Play Off rounds where they can expect to come up against runners-up from leagues such as Holland or Portugal.

The middle ground would be falling back into the Europa League either directly into the group or with a qualifier or two to play. An early exit from the non-Champions route would lead into the Conference and an unwelcome first of playing in three European competitions in one season.
