Chelsea
have drawn Malmo, while Arsenal have been pitted against BATE Borisov in the
last 32 of the Europa League.
Celtic, who were unseeded in the draw, play Valencia with the home leg
scheduled for February 14 and the return match in Spain taking place seven
days later on February 21.
Chelsea are away on February 14 and will host Malmo in the second leg at
Stamford Bridge on February 21.
Arsenal are also away on February 14 but their second-leg clash with
Belarusian side BATE will be played at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday,
February 20 at 5pm, a day earlier than the other Europa League last-32 ties.
UEFA rules stipulate that two teams cannot play in the city on the same
night, so Chelsea - who also topped their group and play their second leg
match at home - have been given priority to play on Thursday as they won
last season's FA Cup.
Benfica were paired with Galatasaray, while Sporting Lisbon face an Iberian
Peninsula clash against La Liga side Villarreal. Serie A side Lazio were
drawn to play five-time winners Sevilla.
The Europa League final takes place on May 29 at Baku's Olympic Stadium in
Azerbaijan.
