Europa League - last 32 draw
Arsenal will play Swedes Ostersund in the last 32 of the Europa League, while Celtic face a tough task against Zenit St Petersburg.
Ostersund are managed by Englishman Graham Potter, who has taken them from the Swedish fourth division to the top-ranked Allsvenskan in six years, and qualified for the Europa League by winning their domestic cup last season.
They duly reached the group stage in which they were one of the surprise packages, finishing second to Athletic Bilbao - a side they held at home. Hertha Berlin and Zorya Luhansk were the teams that finished below them.
Arsenal won their group with something to spare despite fielding a reserve-strength side in every fixture and it will be interesting to see how Arsene Wenger's approach changes, if at all, when the competition resumes in February.
Celtic managed to finish third in their Champions League group despite collecting just three points. However, that paltry haul meant they were unseeded in Monday's draw and they were handed a tough draw against Zenit, one of the tournament favourites.
Arsenal will be away in their first leg on February 15 with Celtic at home on the same night. The second legs take place seven days later.
