MATCH 2080 - Wednesday 19 August 2026

SEASON 2026/27

Qualifying Round 1st Leg

CELTIC  3  LASK  0

Scorers:  Nygren, Duran(2)

The scene is set.

As always with UEFA Champions League qualifiers at Celtic Park the atmosphere is a mixture of excitement and nervous tension.  Tonight was no different although the three goals from Celtic and two goals ruled off side for the Austrian champions helped to lift the tension slightly.

This was Celtic's first meeting with LASK Linz from the north of Austria close to the Czechia border in UEFA competition.

It has to be noted that the fans from Linz where a credit to their club supporting their players throughout despite a difficult night.

Personal note:

• This 1st time seeing LASK.  Overall the 5th Austrian club I've seen.
• This was the 8th time seeing Celtic play Austrian opposition

CELTIC  2  STURM GRAZ  1

Celtic managed to win their first European match of the season at the 5th attempt.  They had to do it the hard way, coming from behind after the Austrians took the lead in the first half.  Two second half goals though secured the points.

Another huge European crowd at Celtic Park despite a poor start to the season, especially in Europe and we were rewarded to a win and decent performance.
