Celtic vs LASK: Preview
With Celtic strong favourites to sweep all before them in Scotland once again, the Champions League remains the true litmus test of the Bhoys' quality.
That was brought into sharp focus at this stage of the competition 12 months ago, when they failed to score against Kazakh side Kairat across more than four hours of football and were dumped out on penalties.
It means Celtic are eyeing a return to the league phase after two years away, having muddled their way through last season's Europa League before losing to German outfit VFB Stuttgart in the first knockout round.
Of course, that was before they dramatically snatched the Scottish Premiership title from Hearts on the final day of last term, then won the Scottish Cup a week later, and with legendary manager Martin O'Neill now in permanent charge they have started the 2026/27 campaign with a 100 per cent record.

LASK also won a league and cup double last season, but for the Austrians it was a much rarer event. The Linz-based side lifted each trophy for just the second time in their history, emulating the team of 1964/65 who also claimed both pieces of silverware in the same campaign.
They have picked up where they left off, winning all four competitive matches so far this season and scoring 16 goals, with forward Samuel Adeniran finding the net four times in three league games.
Manager Dietmar Kuhbauer will now aim to guide LASK into the main draw of the Champions League for the first time in the club's history. They lost in the play-off round after their previous league and cup double in 1965 and were beaten by Club Brugge at this stage in 2019/20.
Both teams will be desperate to reach the league phase of the Champions League, while the losers of this tie drop into the Europa League. The second leg is in Linz next Tuesday.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Celtic 1-1 LASK
The Bhoys will be targeting an aggregate lead to take to Austria next Tuesday, but LASK should not be underestimated.
