Sarajevo were one of four potential ties for Celtic going into the draw. The others were Valleta of Malta, Montenegrin champions Sutjeska, Partizani of Albania or Georgian side Saburtalo.

Celtic will learn their potential second-round opponents tomorrow afternoon.

The Ladbrokes Premiership champions, and winners of a 'treble treble', have already returned for pre-season training in preparation for the clash with Sarajevo. They'll be looking to make the group stage of the Champions League after missing out last season.
