Celtic - Qarabag

Scottish champions Celtic will be eager to gain a healthy first-leg advantage when they host Qarabag in the third round of Champions League qualifying on Wednesday. The Hoops made sure of their progress in the last round thanks to a 6-1 aggregate thumping of Icelandic champions Stjarnan. However, a 2-0 victory in the first leg of the tie meant that Deila's men experienced some nerves in the second leg, particularly when Stjarnan took the lead. Azerbaijani champions Qarabag FK travel to Glasgow having edged into the third round of Champions League qualifying with a narrow win over Montenegrin counterparts Rudar Pljevlja. The two sides drew 0-0 in the first leg before Qarabag earned a decisive 1-0 victory in the return tie at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium in Baku. Qarabag have never qualified for the Champions League group stage, though their only previous qualification campaign came last season when they were knocked out in the third round by Salzburg.
