Kick-off on 18.09.24 22:00.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Celtic will face Slovan at Celtic Park in Glasgow. The teams last met in the quarter-finals of the 1963/64 Cup Winners’ Cup, where the Scottish club secured a 1-0 victory at home. In this Champions League campaign, Celtic gained direct entry to the group stage, while Slovan navigated through all qualification rounds. The Sky Blues eliminated Struga from North Macedonia (4-2, 2-1), Slovenian side Celje (1-1, 5-0), Cypriot club APOEL (2-0, 0-0), and Denmark’s Midtjylland (1-1, 3-2). In their last four home matches in the competition, the Hoops only lost to Lazio, 1-2. The Kings of Bratislava have reached the group stage for the first time since the reorganization of the European Cup.

The Megogo platform will broadcast the Celtic vs. Slovan match live on September 18, 2024.

The hosts debuted in the Champions League in 1966/67. The Glasgow side has participated in the tournament 38 times. Since the 2000s, the Scottish giants have failed to progress beyond the qualification stages in ten campaigns. Nineteen years ago, the Green and Whites hosted another Bratislava-based team in the competition — Artmedia, now Petržalka, and won 4-0. In their last eight Champions League home games, the Hoops managed just one victory, beating Feyenoord 2-1.

Slovan first participated in the European Cup in 1956/57. Since then, the Sky Blues have made 15 attempts to shine among Europe’s elite but often exited in the early stages, rarely advancing past the final round of qualifiers. In their last nine away games, all during qualification campaigns, the Kings of Bratislava suffered only one loss, against Maccabi Haifa, 1-3.
