Celtic may not have had the easiest of seasons last term but they don't have much time to dwell on it.
That's because their Champions League qualifying begins in just over one month's time.
The club have only recently announced Ange Postecoglou as their new manager and, as he has been quarantining following his departure from Japan, is not yet in the building.
That could slow things down in terms of getting the players ready for their upcoming clashes. Add to that the Celtic contingent currently away at Euro 2020 and it may not be the best preparation.
The Hoops do know who they could potentially face in the second round of Champions League qualifiers which could help as they undertake their scouting missions and watch all possible footage of all possible opponents.
But who are these teams Celts could play? How can you watch the draw live? When is it on?
Here's all you need to know about tomorrow's qualifier draw.
Who could Celtic face?
The path to the next round of qualifiers could have been easier for the Glasgow outfit.
Then again, it could have been tougher, too. PSV Eindhoven are one outfit they will miss out on due to Scotland's decent coefficient.
They will, however, face either FC Midtjylland, Galatasaray or Rapid Vienna.
Celtic are the seeded club.
When is the draw?
The draw will take place on Wednesday, June 16, at around 11am UK time.
Where can I watch the draw?
It will be broadcast live on UEFA's website.
However it is not scheduled to be shown on TV.
When will the games take place?
Celtic will play the first-leg of their second round qualifier on either July 20 or 21.
The second-leg will take place a week later on July 27 or 28.
What happens next?
If the Hoops can make it past their round two opponents, it is on to round three.
They will, however, be guaranteed European football with Europa League action to come in the group stage should they make it through.
Their third round opponents could potentially be either Genk, PSV, Spartak Moscow or last season's Europa League foes Sparta Prague.
If Celtic lose their second round qualifier they will go into the main path of qualification for Europe's secondary competition at the third round stage.
