Celtic return to Champions League action on Wednesday evening hoping to tighten their grip on a place in the knockout stages against bottom club Young Boys.

Under the competition's new rules, 24 sides will progress from the league phase – with the top eight heading straight to the round of 16 while the teams from ninth to 24th compete in two-legged play-offs to join them.

The Hoops, sitting 21st, are on course to qualify for the first time since 2012/13, but given they wrap up the league phase with a testing trip to face Aston Villa at Villa Park next week, Brendan Rodgers and co will feel the visit of the Swiss strugglers is an opportunity they cannot miss.

Young Boys are a disappointing ninth in the Super League, just two spots above the relegation places, and are rock bottom of the Champions League table after losing all six of their matches in 2024/25.

Their first game after a month-long winter break was a goalless draw against relegation favourites Winterthur at the weekend, while Celtic have found form in 2025 – winning four of their last five games.
