Champions League draw: Chelsea hand over Milan, Liverpool take on Rangers, Celtic take on Real Madrid
The 2022/23 Champions League campaign officially kicks off on Thursday afternoon as the 32 teams - 26 qualified and six play-off winners - find out their fate in the group stage. A road ending in Istanbul in June 2023 begins in the Turkish city as Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are joined by Celtic and Rangers in the pots.
Manchester City are in Pot 1, joined by other domestic champions and winners of the Champions League and Europa League last season. Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs form an equally star-studded Pot 2, which opens up the prospect of enticing groups.
Scottish champions Celtic are joined by bitter rivals Rangers in Pot 4 after Giovanni van Bronckhorst navigated their way through the qualifying process, beating PSV Eindhoven in the play-off. Both clubs will be fantasizing about the prospect of some of Europe's biggest hitters visiting Glasgow in the coming months.
