This morning's draw in Switzerland paired the clubs together to meet in the second qualifying round on either the 11 or 12 July.
New Celtic winger Jonny Hayes is looking forward to his club's ties but does not believe the extra spice involved in a potential showdown with Linfield will worry the Hoops too much.
It looks as though Linfield could be playing Celtic at Windsor Park in a Champions' League qualifier on July 11 - IF the Blues get past San Marino's La Fiorita, and security officials agree.
Instead reports suggest any first-leg game between the two teams could be played on July 11, potentially with an early kick-off.
Blues chairman McGivern said that early talks had taken place with Celtic representatives about the potential tie and said that, for practical reasons, July 12 was not an option.

But above all, Celtic's first priority will be to keep hold of their existing star players. I don't remember the last time one of our European ties was on live.
"I think that everyone associated with the club would love that to be the case".
Dundalk will be hoping to emulate their stellar run in last year's competition, a run which saw them make it to the Play-off round before being dumped out by Legia Warsaw. I'm sure the fans would love nothing more than a game against Celtic.
