Celtic will play Russian side Dinamo Moscow in the Champions League third qualifying round.

 

Celtic Park will host the first leg on 28/29 July, with the return game played on 4/5 August.

 

Dinamo are well into their domestic season and lie seventh in the Premier Liga after 13 games.

 

Celtic overcame Spartak Moscow after a tense penalty shoot-out to qualify for the Champions League group phase in season 2007/08.

 

If Celtic progress to the second qualifying round, they will be drawn against either Arsenal, Lyon, Stuttgart, Fiorentina or Atletico Madrid, who are the seeds in the next stage of the best-placed path.

"If they can progress to the final qualifying round this time, they will not be seeded and will face either Arsenal, Lyon, Stuttgart, Fiorentina or Atletico Madrid."

 

From the ET.

 

It would be a minor miracle if they got to the CL.

 

Thank Christ we won the league!:spl:

The BBC website is confusing the h3ll outta me, it says Celtic have been drawn against Dinamo Moscow in the 3rd qualifying round and if they win that they could get Fiorentina etc in the "2nd" qualifying round ?? Are we working backwards ?

Moscow Dynamo were the much preferred club of the old communist Soviet secret Polis, the KGB. When we won the ECWC in Barcelona in 1972, considerable tensions arose because Spain was a fascist state under Franco. When the Bears entered the field to celebrate winning the cup, the Guardia Civil(Spain's paramilitary Polis) were immediately determined not to be seen to be losing control by a Euro wide TV audience, particularly those watching in the Soviet Union. The TV plug was pulled and batons were wielded.

 

Being old guard KGB will not help Dynamo, Peter Lawwell and his on message press-pack will be more than a match for them in the dirty tricks department.
