The draw for the UEFA Champions League Play-Off round has come to its conclusion and we now know the final ties before the group stage in September.
Celtic - the only British side in the draw – are to face Sweden’s Helsingborgs IF which will intrigue legendary striker Henrik Larsson who played for both clubs.
Borussia Monchengladbach are new to the Champions League but reached a European Cup final in 1977 where they lost 3-1 to Bob Paisley’s Liverpool.
They are up against Dynamo Kiev who they defeated en route to that final in Rome in 77, so a bit of history there.
Portuguese side Braga will come face to face with Udinese and Malaga – who are also Champions League debutants – will face Greek side Panathinaikos who eliminated Scottish side Motherwell in the previous round.
