The match takes place on 22nd August at 9 pm local time (8 pm UK time) and there is a huge amount at stake as both teams look to claim a place in the lucrative group stages of the Champions League.
AEK Athens finished 3-2 winners against Celtic, in a game where Brendan Rodgers was left to rue the absence of Dedryck Boyata who didn’t travel with the team as he looked to push through a transfer. His team struggled to muster a performance anywhere like the form that had seen them pick up the domestic treble in the past two seasons.
