LASK are one of Austria’s established clubs, founded in 1908 and now based at the Raiffeisen Arena. They sit second in the Bundesliga during the 2026–27 season, with a 27-man squad carrying an average age of 24.
Their season has already included the ÖFB Cup second round and the Champions League qualifying play-offs, but the league form is the sharper indicator of where they are. A recent run featuring wins over Red Bull Salzburg, Rapid Vienna, Grazer AK and TSV Hartberg was followed by a 0-0 draw away to Austria Vienna.
At home, LASK have been particularly firm: averaging three goals scored and none conceded per match. They have also tended to start quickly, scoring the first goal inside 20 minutes in eight of 18 league matches. Christoph Lang leads their scoring with five goals, followed by Samuel Adeniran on three.
For Celtic supporters, LASK profile as a disciplined Austrian side with strong home numbers, a young squad, and enough current form to merit proper attention rather than casual assumptions.
