At Celtic Park, Celtic — Ferencváros will meet in the first round of the Europa League league phase. The teams previously met in the 2020/21 Champions League qualifying campaign, when the Hungarian club prevailed, as well as in the 2021/22 Europa League group stage, where the Scottish side got its revenge at home. The hosts entered the tournament after being eliminated from the qualifying round of the premier European competition by Austrian side LASK. The visitors came through the entire qualifying path, eliminating Vojvodina, Twente, Górnik, and Trabzonspor in succession.

Celtic is playing in its 26th Europa League season and is making its 10th appearance in the competition's main stage. At home, the Scottish side has traditionally done well against Hungarian teams. In the 1963/64 and 2003/04 seasons, the hosts defeated MTK, while in the 1971/72 and 1972/73 European Cup campaigns they prevailed over Újpest, and in 1980 they routed Diósgyőr. The team needs to take control of possession from the opening minutes, make active use of the flanks, and maintain a solid defensive structure.

Ferencváros is making its seventh appearance in the main stage of the tournament. The Hungarian club has experience traveling to Scotland: in the 1960/61 season, it lost to Rangers, while in the 2004/05 group stage, it defeated Hearts. In its previous 17 away matches in the competition, the visitors kept a clean sheet in only three games, including matches against Dynamo Kyiv, Genk, and Trabzonspor. The team will need to show composure and make effective use of counterattacks.
