At the time, the Gibraltar Premier Division was among the lowest-ranked football leagues in the UEFA coefficient, partly due to Gibraltarian clubs only participating in UEFA competition since 2014–15 and the coefficient taking the previous five seasons into account, while in the previous season Celtic had competed in the Europa League group stage.
