Arsenal and Celtic were among 32 clubs who discovered their fate when the Europa League draw took place in Nyon on Monday.
The Gunners were seeded after topping their Europa League group, but they were still at risk of being paired with the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Napoli.
However, Arsene Wenger's men avoided the big boys as they were handed an interesting tie with Swedish minnows Ostersunds, while Celtic were given a tricky trip to Russia to play Zenit.
Recap the draw below with Sportsmail's Robert Summerscales.
Thank you for joining me for today's draw, which you can read in a more concise environment by CLICKING HERE!
See you on the 15th and 22nd of February for the Europa League round of 32...
Not a great draw for Celtic, who face a long trip to Russia to face a Zenit side who were the top scorers in the Europa League group phase, with 17.
Potter is a 42-year-old former full back, who played for the likes of Birmingham, Stoke, Southampton and West Brom in the nineties.
He has managed Ostersunds since 2011.
Not Harry...
Arsenal's opponents in the last 32 are Swedish minnows Ostersunds, managed by highly-rated English boss Graham Potter, who has taken the club to four promotions.
He is the only English boss in the Europa League.

A UEFA official has just reminded us that clubs from Russia and Ukraine will be kept apart in the last 32 draw.
Former Barcelona and Monaco star and Europa League ambassador Eric Adidal is here to help pluck the draw balls from the bowl.
The show is underway. The presenters are warming the crowd up with re-runs from the group stage but the draw is just moments away from starting.
Michael Owen believes Celtic could go deep in the tournament but he makes Dortmund his tip to win the trophy.
Owen Hargreaves says Arsenal need to make the Europa League a priority because the top four is not guaranteed
He thinks Arsene Wenger should 'put all his eggs in the Europa League basket'.
While some managers describe the Europa League as a distraction, it is refreshing to hear from Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhuttl, who is relishing the challenge.
For all the jokes about the quality of the Europa League, it is very possible that Arsenal could be given a tougher tie than some of their English rivals in the Champions League...
Surely the Gunners will be keen to avoid Dortmund and Napoli?
These draws often have a huge impact on the odds.
For example, PSG were favourites to win the Champions League before today's draw but, after being paired with Real Madrid, they have been replaced by Manchester City in the betting.
This is how the bookies rate the Europa League title race right now:
Atletico Madrid 4-1
Arsenal 6-1
Napoli 10-1
Dortmund 10-1
Leipzig 14-1
Lazio 14-1
...
...
...
Celtic 80-1
Everyone is interested to see who Arsenal will get, but let's remind ourselves how Arsene Wenger's second string reached this stage:
Arsenal 3-1 Cologne
BATE 2-4 Arsenal
Crvena Zvezda 0-1 Arsenal
Arsenal 0-0 Crvena Zvezda
Cologne 1-0 Arsenal
Arsenal 6-0 BATE
The Champions League draw has just finished and, although it was over in a flash, it has served up some very tasty ties:
Juventus vs Tottenham Hotspur
Basle vs Manchester City
Porto vs Liverpool
Sevilla vs Manchester United
Real Madrid vs Paris Saint-Germain
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Roma
Chelsea vs Barcelona
Bayern Munich vs Besiktas
UEFA have been known to draw multiple rounds on the same day, but — despite rumours flying round on Twitter — the last 16 will not be drawn today.
That will take place on February 23.
Unlike the group draw, which was painfully complex, this should be a pretty simple affair.
A seeded team can play any unseeded team unless they are from the same country (England and Scotland count as different countries) or they have just played each other in the group phase.
The seeded side with have the advantage (or is it?) of playing the second leg at home.
And here are the 16 unseeded teams:
AEK Athens
Astana
Celtic*
Crvena zvezda
Dortmund*
FCSB København
Ludogorets
Lyon
Marseille
Napoli*
Nice
Östersund
Partizan
Real Sociedad
Spartak Moskva*
These are the 16 seeded teams, with asterisks next to the Champions League dropouts:
Arsenal and Celtic are flying the flag for the home nations.
The Gunners are seeded after winning Group H, but Celtic — one of eight Champions League dropouts — are not, meaning the two could meet.
Fellow third-place Champions League sides Borussia Dortmund, Napoli and Spartak Moscow are are also unseeded and therefore possible opponents for Arsenal, but the Londoners will avoid CSKA Moscow, Atletico Madrid, Leipzig and Sporting Lisbon.
The Champions League draw, which precedes the *main event*, is getting underway right now. You can follow that with Sportsmail's Dan Ripley by CLICKING HERE but I'm going to focus Europa League...
The draw is just 90 minutes away. I'm off to grab a coffee but I'll be back at 11am to provide live updates as we prepare to discover who's got who.
