# Celtic: Fans appreciate tweet from FC Copenhagen

**Celtic will play FC Copenhagen in the last 32 of the Europa League after yesterday’s draw paired the teams together.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”267636″\]

The sides have met in European competition twice before, having been drawn into the same group in the 2006/07 Champions League. \[[via TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-fc/bilanzdetail/verein/371/wettbewerb_id//gegner_id/190/saison_id//heim_gast//datum_von/-/datum_bis/-/day/0/land_id/39)\]

On that occasion, Celtic enjoyed a [1-0 victory at Parkhead](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/64841) before the Danish side got their revenge with a [3-1 win on their own patch](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/66366) in the return fixture. However, the Hoops were already through to the knockout rounds by that point, having beaten Manchester United two weeks previously (as per [BBC](https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/6160910.stm)).

Following yesterday’s draw, FC Copenhagen posted a tweet in English on their official Twitter channel [@FCKobenhavn](https://twitter.com/fckobenhavn/status/1206558600686178309?s=21) stating that they are looking forward to welcoming the Scottish champions to Denmark in February.

The first leg will take place at Copenhagen’s Telia Parken stadium on Thursday, February 20, with Celtic at home for the return leg seven days later. \[[via TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-fc/bilanzdetail/verein/371/wettbewerb_id//gegner_id/190/saison_id//heim_gast//datum_von/-/datum_bis/-/day/0/land_id/39)\]
