Celtic will embark on a Europa League journey this season.

It will be unfamiliar territory for Brendan Rodgers as he has only ever experienced Champions League football at Celtic Park.

However, after Celtic’s defeat to Kairat Almaty, Rodgers knows he will be competing against Europe’s second-tier club this season.

With Celtic’s Europa League draw confirmed on Friday, fans were now waiting on UEFA to confirm matchday fixtures and kick-off times so that they can book their big away day trips.

Celtic supporters now no longer need to wait.

As fans know, Celtic will face AS Roma (H), Feyenoord (A), SC Braga (H), Crvena Zvezda (A), Sturm Graz (H), FC Midtjylland (A), Utrecht (H) and Bologna (A) in this season’s Europa League.

Here is the full confirmed fixture list with all times in UK:

With Rodgers set to face ex-Celtic players Gustaf Lagerbielke [Braga] and Vasilas Barkas [Utrecht], there are plenty to hook the Hoops supporters’ interest in the upcoming tournament.

Celtic’s best-ever season in the Europa League

Indeed, when the tournament was called the UEFA Cup, it is unarguable that Celtic’s best-ever season was in the 2002/03 season when the Bhoys reached Seville for the final.

However, in the new group format, Celtic’s best performances in the Europa League came under Neil Lennon in 2019/20.

Here is the full list of fixtures and results:

• September 19: Stade Rennais 1 v 1 Celtic
• October 3, 2019: Celtic 2 v 0 CFR Cluj
• October 24, 2019: Celtic 2 v 1 Lazio
• November 7, 2019: Lazio 1 v 2 Celtic

• November 28, 2019: Celtic 3 v 1 Stade Rennais
• December 12, 2019: CFR Cluj 2 v 0 Celtic

Celtic progressed from the group stage with two games to spare after their historic night in Lazio but were eventually, and disappointingly, knocked out in the last 32, 4-2 on aggregate, by FC Copenhagen.
