CELTIC have been drawn against Alashkert of Armenia in the Champions League first qualifying round.
Brendan Rodgers won't be too upset about the quality of the opposition but the 5000-mile round trip is something he could have done without.
However, the double-treble winners should overcome the Armenians with no real problems as they attempt to reach the group stage for a third successive season.
The first leg is scheduled for July 10/11, with the return leg a week later. Further information to follow on the dates and times of both legs.
The draw for the second round will be made later today in Nyon.
