Celtic prepares for Champions League clash with LASK in Austria

Summary

Celtic travels to Linz to face LASK in the second leg of their Champions League playoff on August 25, 2026. After a 3-0 victory in the first leg at Celtic Park, Celtic holds a substantial advantage, but past experiences urge caution. The team has faced challenges in similar situations before, in 2017 against Hapoel Beer Sheva and the following year against Astana, where they nearly squandered leads. Celtic aims to maintain focus and professionalism in what is seen as a critical match to secure their spot in the group stages.
