BANANA skin dodged, Celtic continue in their quest to return to the group stage of the Champions League next week after emphatically seeing off the challenge of Alashkert.

The Scottish champions were landed with an extra round of qualifying this season after UEFA made changes to the competition format, but an early start to the campaign didn’t faze Brendan Rodgers’ side as they won both legs against the Armenians 3-0.

So what is next for the Bhoys in their gruelling run to the promised land of the group stage?

Who will they face next?

Rosenborg will be looking to end Celtic’s dreams in the second qualifying round and gain revenge for last season’s defeat in the process.

The two sides met in the third qualifying round this time last year and could not be separated until 69 minutes into the second leg in Trondheim, when a superb James Forrest strike gave Celtic a lead that proved to be enough to see them through.

The defending Norwegian champions are currently midway through their domestic season and sit in second place as things stand, two points behind leaders Brann.

How did they get here?

With a slice of fortune. Rosenborg needed a win in Trondheim last night after losing their first leg tie against Icelandic outfit Valur.

The hosts held a 2-0 advantage until five minutes from time, when Kristinn Sigurdsson’s penalty looked to be enough to send the Icelanders through on away goals.

However, a controversial penalty was awarded to the Norwegians deep into stoppage time, which former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner converted to send the hosts through.

After the game, Bendtner said: "For me scoring that late penalty, I knew what was at stake. Both sides were nervous in stages.

"They said our penalty was fortunate, but we have been cheated many times in our league by bad decisions, so I think we deserve some fortune."

Here’s the incident in question.

When are the ties?

The first leg takes place at Celtic Park on Wednesday 25 July at 7.45pm.

The return leg is then set for Wednesday 1 August with the same kick-off time.

What happens if Celtic win?

Victory would put Celtic into the third qualifying round draw, which takes place on Monday 23 July at 11am.

Celtic would be seeded for this round as one of the six sides with the best UEFA coefficients and potential opposition includes BATE Borisov, Dinamo Zagreb and AEK Athens.

Third round ties will take place on 7/8 and 14 August.

What if they lose?

If the worst happens for Rodgers’ side, they will be given the solace of dropping into the champions path of the Europa League third qualifying round.

Should that happen, Celtic would be seeded for the draw as one of 10 teams to have dropped out of the Champions League and would face one of the 10 teams to have progressed from the champions path of the second qualifying round.
