Here’s how you can watch Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League on TV.

Celtic enter yet another Champions League campaign on the evening of Wednesday, August 18. This time, however, things will look drastically different.

Instead of the usual four team groups, Celtic will instead partake in a ‘Swiss League’ system, meaning each team in the competition will compete against one another in one 36 team division.

How have the two teams performed domestically this season?

Currently, Celtic sit at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a perfect record of five wins from five games. Not only have the Hoops avoided defeat, they have also yet to concede a goal in Scotland’s top division.

Like Celtic, Slovan Bratislava are also top of their respective league (the Slovakian Super League). They have won five of their opening six games, with their sole defeat coming at the hands of MŠK Žilina. It was a drubbing, however - they were beaten 5-0 on their own turf.
