Debutants Celtic will face Chelsea, Real Madrid and Twente in Women's Champions League Group B.

Elena Sadiku's SWPL champions qualified for the group stage for the first time by overcoming Finland's KuPS, Lithuania's Gintra and Ukraine's Vorskla Poltava in qualifying.

WSL winners Chelsea reached last season's Champions League semi-finals while Spain's Real featured at the group stage. Eredivisie winners Twente were knocked out at the WCL qualifying stage in the previous three campaigns but won all their qualifiers this term.

Celtic, who are unbeaten this season, return to domestic action in Sunday's SWPL Cup second-round tie away to Monrtose.

Meanwhile, Sadiku's will be playing their home games at New Douglas Park in Hamilton for the rest of the season, moving from Airdrie's Excelsior Stadium.
