After winning the league title, Red Star booked their place in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. They beat Lincoln Red Imps and Lech Poznan, but the Belgrade giants lost to Pafos in the play-off round.

Brendan Rodgers’ boys are unbeaten in normal time this season, picking up six wins and three draws. The Hoops lead the way at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, winning four and drawing one of five.
