3-0 agg .Champions league draw is tomorrow 5pm .Something to look forward to .
CELTIC are aiming to secure their qualification for the group phase of the Champions League in the second leg of their tie against Helsingborgs tonight, after a 2-0 win in Sweden last week.
The draw for the Champions League group stage takes place tomorrow (Thursday) at 5pm (BST), and Neil Lennon’s side are almost certain to be in Pot 4 if they overcome their opponents tonight.
The only way they would move up to Pot 3 is if both Borussia Moenchengladbach and Cluj win their ties tonight.
They both have a lower co-efficient than Celtic, so the Glasgow club would rise two places into Pot 3.
Lille and Fenerbahce both have a higher co-efficient than Celtic and would go into Pot 3 if they win their ties.
The draw will produce eight groups of four teams, consisting of one from each pot.
Ten winners from the play-off ties - including Celtic - join 22 automatic entrants.
Each team will play home and away matches against their three group opponents between September and December with the top two sides qualifying for the knockout stage.
