Celtic secured a 2-0 first-leg lead in their Champions League play-off against LASK on August 19, 2026 at Celtic Park. The Scottish club responded to an early disallowed goal for offside by scoring twice before half-time, with the first coming in the 35th minute. A second LASK goal was also ruled out during the first half. Celtic, who have not reached the Champions League group stage since their penalty shootout elimination the previous season, will take this comfortable lead into the return leg in Austria. LASK will need to win by at least three goals to advance directly.
