Celtic face Stjarnan in Champions League qualifier

The Scottish champions will be aiming to go one further than last year and qualify for the group stage but face tricky opposition in the first of three qualifying rounds

Celtic have been drawn against Icelandic side Stjarnan in the second qualifying round of the 2015-16 Champions League.

This marks the second consectutive season the Bhoys have been drawn against Icelandic opposition, after facing KR Reykjavik at the same stage.

Celtic will host Stjarnan in the first leg on the weekend of July 14/15 before heading over the north sea on July 21 or 22.

Ronny Deila's side will need to negotiate their way through three qualifying rounds to make the lucrative group stage, something they missed out upon last season, losing on aggregate to NK Maribor.

And their opponents this time have an impressive track record - defeating Motherwell and Lech Poznan in last season's Europa League qualifiers before falling to a 9-0 two-legged loss to Inter.

They currently sit sixth in the Icelandic top flight.
