Arsenal have been drawn to face Celtic in an all-British tie later this month to reach the Champions League group stage.
Celtic, following their victory over Dinamo Moscow earlier this week, face the daunting task of Arsene Wenger's men.
The first leg will take place on August 18 or 19, days after both sides begin their league campaigns.
It is the first time the two clubs will meet in European competition and the prize will be a path to the lucrative stage of the competition.
The play-offs were divided into two groups, with Lyon's clash against Anderlecht among the "non-champions'' ties. Romanian side Timisoara face Stuttgart, Sporting Lisbon and Fiorentina will play each other, while Panathinaikos or Atletico Madrid will make up the other teams that go through.
From the "champions'' route, FC Sheriff play Olympiacos, Salzburg are up against Maccabi Haifa, FK Ventspils face FC Zurich, FC Copenhagen and APOEL of Nicosia face each other, with Levski Sofia and Debrecen the final two teams.
Now this tie can be tricky, luckily the first leg is at celtic park, if our boys can handle the crowd and score atleast a goal, then we can be confident of a great show from Arsenal at the Emirates. Hoping for a good first leg match and all the best lads
What do you guys think ? let me know
Get well soon Tomas and Nasri.
