Scottish giants Celtic are drawn against Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt in the Europa Conference League playoff round, while Tottenham Hotspur or Vitesse will face Rapid Vienna.

Scottish giants Celtic have been drawn against Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt in the Europa Conference League playoff round.

After finishing third in the Europa League group stage, the Hoops continue their European journey by dropping into UEFA's inaugural third-tier competition.

Heading into Monday's draw, Celtic faced the prospect of being drawn against one of eight teams who finished second in their Europa Conference League group, with victory in the playoff round rewarded with a place in the last 16.

Ange Postecoglou's men avoided a potential tie with either Tottenham Hotspur or Vitesse, instead being drawn against Eliteserien holders Bodo/Glimt, who finished second in Group C behind Roma and remain unbeaten in Europe this term.

The two clubs have never locked horns in a competitive fixture, though the Hoops are familiar with Norwegian opposition, having previously faced Rosenborg on 12 occasions and winning seven in the process.

Celtic will host the first leg at Parkhead on February 17, before Bodo/Glimt welcome the Hoops to Aspmyra Stadion for the second leg on February 24.

Elsewhere, former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers will prepare his Leicester City side for a two-legged tie against Randers, while Tottenham or Vitesse have been drawn against Rapid Vienna.
