The Hoops are currently sitting 24th in the league phase table, just clinging onto the last play-off spot. But with recent gutsy performances—a thrilling win at Feyenoord and a solid draw in Bologna—Celtic have reignited their European hopes! 🔥

Remember Martin O’Neill’s magic? His first stint led Celtic to the 2003 UEFA Cup final in Seville, a run still fondly remembered. So, could we see a repeat performance? 🤞

Under the new Europa League format, Celtic could be lined up for a clash with the likes of Porto or Genk if they stay above the cut. If they navigate this hurdle, potentially facing Ferencváros or Real Betis in the last 16 is on the cards!

The maths is simple: Win against Utrecht and it’s knockout stages, here we come! 🏆 A draw? It gets tricky, as we’d need other results to fall in our favour, like Young Boys tripping up against Stuttgart. A loss? Let’s not even think about it—definitely not what we need!

The excitement kicks off with all 18 matches simultaneously, but our eyes are firmly fixed on Parkhead. 🏟️

Strap in for a night of high drama, Celtic family. Let’s cheer the Boys to victory! 🍀
