Overview
- The tie is level after a 0-0 first leg in Glasgow, with the winner reaching the Champions League league phase and the loser entering the Europa League.
- Kick-off is 5:45pm UK at Central Stadium in Almaty, with streaming on Amazon Prime Video and, in the U.S., on Paramount+ and Amazon Prime Video.
- Celtic are without full-back Alistair Johnston due to a hamstring injury, with Adam Idah and Auston Trusty listed as doubts.
- Kairat are missing suspended teenage forward Dastan Satpayev and carry a low UEFA club ranking (266th), yet they have won all three home qualifiers this season.
- Bookmakers rate Celtic as favourites to advance, even as the Scottish champions contend with a roughly 7,000-mile round trip and a poor recent record in European away matches.
