More on Celtic & Rangers' Europa League draws

This season's final takes place on 27 May in Gdansk, Poland, which hosted four games at Euro 2012.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's inconsistent side are four points outside the Premier League top four and face a Bruges side that are top of their league having lost just once this season and conceded only seven goals in 18 games.

Arsenal may have a new permanent manager in place by the time they come up against Olympiakos, who dropped out of the Champions League after finishing third behind Bayern Munich and Tottenham.

Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolves host Espanyol at Molineux in the first leg before he takes his side to face the struggling Spanish side, who are bottom of their domestic league.

As Wolves are the team I've been following in the Europa this season, drawing Espanyol, who occupy bottom spot in La Liga, is a great draw. Very winnable, keep wandering on!

Good luck to all the British teams, pretty kind draws for all of them; even Rangers if they're on it.

Love watching Wolves so I hope they keep progressing.
No need for Arsenal to worry about China refusing to cover their games.
Apparently another big tv network want to show all Arsenal matches.

Don't bother to comment on Pat Butchers comments it's Bianca Jackson 5 using yet another name. They seem to think it's funny making wrong and stupid comments, just ignore them.

Arsenal & Man Utd must be the only English sides in the competition then according to the headline.

Pat Butcher to Pat Butcher's friends
"Honestly guys, I'm just soo funny aren't I? What I do is I sit at my computer all day and make up nonsense things that happened in football and all these people comment on it. What a clever, funny person I am, and it's so original too, no one has ever thought of making up funny statements on the internet before, I am the only one".

Get a life Pat!

Celtic would win the overrated English tourist league at the first time of asking. It is a league that lags far behind the big leagues in Europe. The tourist league is full of tinpot fans.

YOUVE BEEN AT THE CRYSTAL METH HAVENT YOU PAL????

Good luck to all British teams, especially Man Utd who were the first ever British winners of a European trophy, beating Inter Milan 2-1 in the European Cup Final in 1968 in Lisbon.

Are you trying to wind up the Celtic fans?

Thanks to the BBC for leaving out Scottish clubs in the title. "Better together", eh?

Wolves and Man Utd will be fine.

Celtic & Rangers - No idea but good luck to both.

Arsenal - ……………………?

Dull draw - were some great potential ties as well. Good for British football if all sides progress in Champions League and Europa League - regardless of your club allegiances.

@174 @175 stop feeding the troll. Pat Butcher constantly posts factually inaccurate posts in the hope that people will get angry. Ignore the little fella and hopefully he will go away

Sod those sad people in the UCL HYS, being like ‘ooo wHo HaVe UnItEd AnD ArSeNaL gOt.’ We’re both in the Europa now and have good draws that will test the current squads we both have. Good luck to Arsenal, ourselves and all the other British teams in the competitions.

There's always plenty of flak comes flying South from our Northern cousins on these boards. However, I totally agree with the Scots regarding the headline on this page.

If listing all five ties in the headline was too much, at least Celtic should have been included as the only reigning league champions amongst them all.

I think I'd be miffed if I were Scottish.

Oh do me a favour, all you see at Celtic games are Irish flags everywhere.

All I see at Old Trafford are people from Surrey. Like yourself.

No.11 Pat Butcher also seems to have forgotten in the last 10 years, The premier league 2010/2011 2012/2013 FA cup 2015/2016
League cup 2016/2017 Europa cup 2016/2017 plus 4 charity shields

44. Bradz, seriously don't waste your time on the trolls, if we all ignore them eventually they'll get bored and move on with their sad little lives. Responding by pointing out the obvious errors just fuels them and gives them the reaction they are looking for.
