Celtic see off Linfield, set to face Rosenborg in third qualifying round

Celtic have booked a place against Rosenborg in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

Celtic beat Linfield 4-0 on Wednesday to secure a comfortable 6-0 aggregate passage for manager Brendan Rodgers.

The pick of the third qualifying round ties sees Ajax, who lost last season's Europa League final to Manchester United in Stockholm, take on a Nice side that features striker Mario Balotelli, who last month signed a new contract.

The ties will take place on July 25-26 and Aug. 1-2.

Hoffenheim, Liverpool, Napoli, Sevilla and Sporting enter the competition in the final qualifying round, which takes place next month.
