Celtic’s Europa League league phase fixture schedule has now been announced, with dates and kick-off times set for all eight games.
That is quickly followed by a trip to Benfica on Thursday, 15 October, before the Hoops face Celta Vigo at Celtic Park on 22 October.
Besiktas then visit Paradise on 5 November, with the match kicking off at 8pm.
The first of two back-to-back away matches will be against Torreense on 26 November, before Celtic travel to face Omonia on 10 December. That game will kick off earlier at 5.45pm.

Celtoc will then have a break from European action over Christmas before welcoming Marseille to Celtic Park on 21 January.
The league phase will finish one week later, with Celtic travelling to Belgium to face Union Saint-Gilloise on 28 January.
The Hoops face some difficult tests, particularly away to Benfica and at home to Marseille, while Besiktas and Celta Vigo will also provide a major challenge, with familiar faces Hyeon-gyu Oh and Carl Starfelt potentially lining up against Celtic.
The league phase format means every game will matter, with the top eight teams progressing directly to the last 16 and sides finishing between ninth and 24th entering the play-off round.
Celtic now know exactly how their Europa League league phase campaign will look, beginning with Ferencváros coming just under three weeks into September.
The Europa League squad deadline also falls before the Scottish transfer window closes, with Celtic required to submit their European squad by 11pm on Wednesday, meaning O’Neill will have to finalise it before the Scottish deadline on Thursday.
