Aleksandr Zarutskiy made a vital save in the penalty shoot-out
Celtic will face Kairat Almaty in the Champions League play-offs after the Kazakhstan side defeated Slovan Bratislava following a penalty shoot-out in Slovakia.
Brendan Rodgers' Scottish champions will host Kairat on 20 August, with the return six days later.
Kairat had arrived at the Stadion Tehelne Pole with a one-goal lead thanks to 17-year-old Kazakhstan forward Dastan Satpayev's last-minute penalty kick in the first leg.
Slovakia winger Robert Mak fired his national champions ahead on the night, and level on aggregate, on the half hour.
However, although Valeri Gromyko had his opening spot kick saved in the shootout, a save from Aleksandr Zarutskiy and a miss by Tigran Barseghyan gave Jorginho the chance to give Kairat a 4-3 win.
