Celtic will face either Stuttgart or Ferencvaros

The Hoops have learned that they will face one of Stuttgart or Ferencvaros in the play-off round.

Stuttgart are certainly the tougher of the two on paper, but this Ferencvaros side cannot be underestimated.

They are managed by Robbie Keane, who was linked with the Celtic job, before they opted to go for Wilfried Nancy.

As the Bhoys are the unseeded team, they will have to play the second leg away from Celtic Park.

When will Celtic play the Europa League knockout play-off fixtures?

There is a quick turnaround between the victory against the Dutch outfit and when they will face their next opponents.

As this is a two-legged affair, the fixture will take place across two weeks.

Benjamin Nygren was the standout player, but who else impressed for Celtic?
