The Europa League round-of-32 draw in full:
Wolves vs Espanyol Sporting vs Istanbul Basaksehir Getafe vs Ajax Leverkusen vs Porto Copenhagen vs Celtic APOEL vs Basel Cluj vs Sevilla Olympiacos vs Arsenal AZ Alkmaar vs Lask Club Brugge vs Manchester United Ludogorets vs Inter Milan Frankfurt vs Salzburg Shakhtar vs Benfica Wolfsburg vs Malmo Roma vs Gent Rangers vs Braga
Not bad results for Rangers and Celtic, who travel to Portugal and Denmark respectively. Wolves have a decent game against Espanyol, who are currently bottom of La Liga. Arsenal face a tricky trip to Olympiacos who are top of the Greek Superleague and will raise quite an atmosphere for their visitors, you suspect. Manchester United take on Club Brugge, who are flying high at the top of the Belgian Pro League, but at least it is a short trip for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team.
Outside of the British clubs, a couple of fixtures really stand out. Frankfurt vs Salzburg sees the best team in the Austrian Bundesliga take on a good German Bundesliga outfit, although Frankfurt have fallen down into mid-table in recent weeks. Shakhtar vs Benfica also looks like a fun match up between two clubs who were in the Champions League. Shakhtar finished third in Manchester City's group while Benfica finished third in a tight group behind Leipzig and Lyon.
That's all from us, thanks for reading. a reminder of the Europa League draw:
