Celtic FC travels to Austria to face LASK in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League play-off tie, carrying a substantial 3-0 advantage from the initial match. This victory would secure Celtic's place in the upcoming 2026/27 Champions League league phase.
Despite the first-leg scoreline, LASK showed promise, with two goals disallowed for offside. Now, they face the daunting task of mounting a comeback on home turf to advance.
Tragically, a 65-year-old Celtic supporter fell ill and passed away at Celtic Park during the first match. In a gesture of solidarity, LASK has arranged for a moment of silence before today's game to commemorate the fan.
The winner of this tie will advance to the Champions League league phase, with the draw for this stage set for August 27.
