FOLLOWING a request from Cliftonville, the first leg of Celtic’s UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie will take place in Belfast on Wednesday, July 17 (KO: 7.45pm). The return leg will be at Celtic Park on Tuesday, July 23 (KO: 7.45pm).
Neil Lennon’s side will be looking to gain a good first-leg result in Belfast to take back to Glasgow for the return. And with that match being included in the Celtic season ticket package for 2013/14, Paradise is sure to be packed as the Hoops aim to reach the next qualifying round and a step closer to the group stages of the competition.
The Celtic manager said: "It will be the first time I will have taken Celtic to a competitive game back home so that is something to look forward to, but we will be totally motivated, obviously, to play as strongly as we can and try and win the tie.
"It’s a great draw and it will create a lot of interest back in Belfast but I am very wary of the tie.”
