UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has told Celtic and Rangers some of their future Champions League games could be held in AMERICA.

The prized European trophy will undergo major surgery in 2024 as it adopts the Swiss model. But the lingering talk of a continental Super League has refused to go away and now Ceferin has lobbed another charged grenade into the increasingly frosty arena of European football politics.

With football growing in popularity in the States, he tells Men in Blazers that some games from Europe's biggest tournament could be held in America.

Currently, Celtic are on course to have a Champions League group stage place again next season with a league title win while the qualifiers are the likely route Rangers will need to take to reach that frontier again.
