1. UEFA have published the groups for tomorrows CL draw. Celtic will play one of the following in QR1.

Valletta (Malta)
FK Sarajevo (Bosnia)
Sutjeska (Montenegro)
Partizani (Albania)
Saburtalo Tbilisi (Georgia)

Here's a quick summary of each, blagged from last nights tweets.
2. Valletta [#233]

Have won 6 Maltese titles this decade, but only 8 European ties in their history - never two in the same year. Their only recent wins are against teams from the Faroes, San Marino and Albania.

We've neve met before. Our last Maltese opponents were in 1971.
3. FK Sarajevo [#293]

Have won the Bosnian league twice in 5 years. Win against Atromitos of Greece in 14/15 is the only standout result in 5 seasons. Scudded 10-2 by both some German team and Atalanta.

Celtic have never played a Bosnian side in Europe.
4. Sutjeska Niksic [#318]

Have won back to back Montenegrin titles. Have only played 14 matches in Europe, winning just 2. Their only victory in a tie was against Union Luxembourg in 03/04. Lost to Alashkert in last season's EL.

Celtic have never played a team from Montenegro.
5. Partizani [#321]

Won their first Albanian title in 26 years last season. Have won only 4 european ties in their history, the last being Ferencvaros in 16/17.

We met once before in the 79-80 European Cup, winning 4-2 on aggregate - the only time we've met an Albanian team.
6. Saburtalo Tbilisi [#430]

They won their first Georgian title last season. This will be their first attempt in European Football.

Celtic's only previous experience against a Georgian team was the 1995-96 CWC tie against Dinamo Batumi.
7. We've got a decent draw here. We've avoided the Polish and Romanian champions, which was the main thing. If we slip up against any of these teams then we're in far worse shape than any of us realise.

I'll hopefully have some stuff about the draw for QR2 up later.
