Celtic was eliminated from the Champions League after a defeat in Linz, Austria, and fell to the Europa League. Following this elimination, the Scots were drawn and will face two Portuguese clubs in the competition.

Among Celtic's opponents is Benfica, which was also eliminated from the Champions League. The draw placed the two Portuguese teams in the Scots' path in the Europa League.

Nygren is mentioned as the team's star, suggesting the goalkeeper had an important role or stood out in the qualifying round or group stage that led to the elimination.

Celtic's history includes a final from the 2002/03 season, referenced in the Scottish team's record, evoking a notable European presence in the club's recent past.
