The reigning Scottish champions Celtic FC will host Kazakh champions Kairat Almaty at Celtic Park in Glasgow on Wednesday. The match is the first leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifier playoffs series.

Celtic enter this clash as clear favorites at home and are looking to qualify for the UCL group stages for the fourth time in five years. Brendan Rodgers' men continue their dominance in the 2025/26 campaign, winning back-to-back league games against St. Mirren 1- 0 and Aberdeen 2-0.

On the other hand, Kairat have defied expectations in the qualifiers, beating Olimpija Ljubljana 3-1 on aggregate in the first qualifying round and overturning a first-leg deficit against Finland's KuPS. Last week, they ousted Slovan Bratislava on penalties in the third round, setting up their toughest challenge yet, against Celtic.
