Multiple outlets report that Celtic will face Austrian club LASK in the UEFA Champions League play-off. The pairing has been published by SPFL, Yahoo Sports Canada and Celtic Quick News, which indicate the clubs will meet in the upcoming qualification round for Europe’s top club competition.

Reports and naming

SPFL, Yahoo Sports Canada and Celtic Quick News all reported the Celtic v LASK pairing. At least one outlet refers to the opponent as LASK Linz, reflecting a common shorthand that identifies the Austrian side by its home city. The coverage presents the fixture as a Champions League play-off tie but does not include further competitive details.

Unreported match details

None of the confirmed reports supply a match date, kick-off time, venue or whether the tie will be a single leg or two-legged affair. Those specifics have not been reported in the sources that announced the pairing, so clubs, governing bodies or fixtures lists will need to confirm scheduling and stadium arrangements before supporters can plan travel or attendance.

The announcements establish the opponent for Celtic at this stage of European qualification and clarify the club name used by at least one outlet. Follow-up notices from official club channels or UEFA will be necessary to obtain confirmed match timing and venue information.
