Celtic are still celebrating reaching the group stage of the Champions League after their 5-4 win against Hapoel Be'er Sheva but they could receive a further boost to their European fortunes.

Victory over the Israeli champions put Scotland's representatives in Thursday's draw alongside the best of the continent's teams.

As things stand, Celtic would be in seeding pot four, setting them up to face three sides who sit higher in the European pecking order. However, a series of results in the remaining play-off matches could mean Celtic move up into pot three - and in line for a more favourable draw.

If Young Boys, Rostov and Dinamo Zagreb all win their ties on Wednesday night, Brendan Rodgers' side would move up into pot three and avoid facing Tottenham Hotspur, Dynamo Kiev, Lyon, PSV, Sporting Lisbon or Club Brugge.

UEFA's seeding is based on a mixture of the country and club co-efficients. The top pot contains last season's winners along with the champions of the seven nations with the highest country co-efficient.

Pots two, three and four are made of the remainder of teams, sorted by their club coefficient.

As things stand and if the highest rated team progresses in tonight's games, Celtic would be in pot four in the draw with the third highest co-efficient in the bottom section.

That placing means that if three teams with higher coefficients are eliminated, Celtic would benefit.

Zagreb face a tough match away to Red Bull Salzburg with the tie in the balance after a 1-1 draw in Croatia. Rostov's tie with Ajax is similarly poised after they drew 1-1 in Amsterdam but home advantage will give them confidence they can spring a surprise.

By far the biggest task of the three falls to Young Boys, defeated 3-1 by Borussia Moenchengladbach in Bern and needing a huge result in Germany to get through.

Bookmakers have priced the trio at 150/1 all to qualify, meaning that the results required are highly unlikely but after the highs of qualification, Celtic fans might keep one eye on Wednesday's nights European action.
