Celtic first-team coach John Kennedy wary of Champions League opponents Stjarnan

Celtic first-team coach John Kennedy says that the team need to be "careful" when they face Icelandic opposition Stjarnan in their Champions League qualifier.

Celtic first-team coach John Kennedy believes that the players need to be "careful" when they face Icelandic opposition Stjarnan in the second qualifying round of the Champions League.

The Scottish giants were drawn against the team this morning, and will begin their European campaign in July.

"We are more aware of them because they played Motherwell [last season], but it has been a long time since then and things have changed," Kennedy told reporters. "They're not sitting in as good a position in the league as they finished last season.

"It's one we have to be careful of and make sure we do our homework and go in as best prepared as we can possibly be and hopefully get a result. With the size of club we are, we should be expected to beat them."

Celtic will host Stjarnan at Parkhead on July 14 or 15 before travelling to Scandinavia for the return leg a week later.
