Celtic to face Real Madrid, RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk and here is everything you need to know

Most Celtic supporters were merely delighted just to be back among the biggest clubs in the world once again.

But it's ok to dream, of course, and Callum McGregor was saying what many Parkhead punters felt when he admitted the chance to face Real Madrid was his dream. There's been 10 appearances for Celtic in this iconic tournament since the rebrand but a dust-up with the Galacticos has evaded them....until NOW. Ange Postecoglou 's side will take on the 14-time reigning European champions, alongside RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk.

The task is tall, of that there is no doubt, however, there's a tangible sense Celtic can be competitive in a group which offers plenty of hope of positive results on the pitch. Celtic Park earned a reputation as among the best atmospheres in Europe and the Hoops punters will be aiming to break the sound record this time around. Most likely when Karim Benzema and Co rock up in Glasgow's east end. The stakes truly couldn't be much higher as Celtic get set for Group F and a host of illustrious names in European football. Record Sport runs the rule over who lies in wait and what Postecoglou's side can expect.

Manager: Carlo Ancelotti is European royalty and his incredible record in this tournament sets him apart from his peers. The first ever four-time winner of the famous old trophy. His laid-back persona married with his tactical nous is what makes the revered Italian so special. This Madrid side are not the Galacticos of yesteryear, yes, it's jam packed with superstar names but it's been built slowly and appears the perfect mix of old and new. Ancelotti is the dream boss to build upon last season's triumph over Liverpool in the Final.

Stadium: The Santiago Bernabeu. An arena so
