Olympiacos, PAOK: What Celtic's championship title means for them

Ολυμπιακός, ΠΑΟΚ: Τι σημαίνει για αυτούς η κατάκτηση του πρωταθλήματος από τη Σέλτικ

Celtic hurt Hearts, led by Alexandros Kyziridis, in the final moments, and the 3-1 victory gave the Catholics their 56th league title in their history, while denying the Hearts their 5th and first in 66 long years, since way back in 1960.

This development affected AEK in their effort to be among the seeded teams in the Champions League playoffs, as the Union wanted the Edinburgh team to win the title.

Beyond AEK, it also impacts Olympiacos and PAOK, as the two teams learned one of their three potential opponents in the second qualifying round of the Champions League.

We remind you that whichever of the two finishes second in the Stoiximan Super League playoffs will head down this particular path.

The Double-Headed Eagle of the North, like the Piraeus team, will be among the seeded if one of them "locks in" second place.

Thus, in the second qualifying round, they will face a team that also finished second from the Austrian, Polish, and Scottish leagues.

It should be noted that the red-and-whites have chances to go directly to the third qualifying round if Aston Villa lifts the Europa League against Freiburg (20/05, 22:00) and stays within the top four in the Premier League.
