There will be four new teams when the draw for the the league phase of this season’s Champions League is conducted on Thursday.
Pafos FC from Cyprus and Norway’s Bodo/Glimt are set to make their first appearances, following impressive wins via the qualifying play-offs.
Pafos, who only came into existence 11 years ago, drew 1-1 with Red Star Belgrade to clinch a dramatic 3-2 win on aggregate.
Bodo/Glimt progressed following a 6-2 aggregate victory over Austrian outfit Sturm Graz, despite losing the second leg 2-1.
They will both be joined in the league phase by Belgian giants Union Saint-Gilloise and Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty, who sent Celtic out on penalties.
Kairat have become only the second Kazakh side to qualify after Astana in 2015.
