CELTIC will face Zenit St Petersburg in the last 32 of the Europa League.
The Scottish champions learned their opponents at today's draw in Nyon, with the ties set to take place on 15 and 22 February.
Brendan Rodgers' side parachuted down from the Champions League after finishing third in Group B ahead of Anderlecht, but were unseeded due to being one of the four lowest-ranked third-placed sides.
Roberto Mancini's Zenit finished top of Europa League Group L to progress to the knockout stages, winning five games and drawing one against Real Sociedad, Rosenborg and FK Vardar.
The last 32 fixtures will take place on 15 and 22 February 2018, with a kick-off time of either 6pm or 8.05pm.
Seeded teams will be at home in the second leg, meaning Celtic’s Parkhead date will be on Thursday 15th.
