AGF Aarhus stun Lech Poznan; Celtic faces new CL foes

The landscape for Celtic's potential Champions League play-off opponents has become clearer following the latest second qualifying round fixtures. Danish champions AGF Aarhus delivered a stunning comeback, overturning a significant first-leg deficit against Polish side Lech Poznan. After a dramatic extra-time period, AGF ultimately triumphed in a penalty shootout, advancing to face Sabah.

Celtic already knew that Viking Stavanger of Norway and Austria's LASK would be automatic qualifiers for the play-off round. However, the identity of several other potential opponents hinges on the outcomes of remaining ties. These include matches between Kairat Almaty and Levski Sofia, and Celje against Aarat-Armenia, with first legs played on 4/5 August and second legs on 11 August.
