What channel is Feyenoord v Celtic? Is it on TV? How to watch Champions League match

Celtic get their Champions League campaign underway in the Netherlands against Feyenoord on Tuesday.

Brendan Rodgers side secured direct passage into the group stages of the competition for a second successive season thanks to winning the Scottish Premiership title and have been drawn in Group E alongside the Dutch champions, Atletico Madrid and Lazio.

Feyenoord are the top seeds meaning, on paper, the trip to Rotterdam is the toughest of the six fixtures Celtic will face as they bid to improve on last season’s showing in UEFA’s top tournament, which saw them claim just two points to finish bottom of the section.

A top two finish this time around would see Celtic progress to the last 16 of the Champions League for the first time since season 2012-13 while a third place finish would see the Hoops drop into the Europa League knock-out play-off round.

The only previous meeting between these sides was in the 1970 European Cup final, with Feyenoord winning 2-1.
