Europa League draw LIVE - Arsenal vs BATE Borisov, Chelsea vs Malmo and Celtic vs Valencia

Follow the latest reaction from the Europa League last-32 draw as both Arsenal and Chelsea discovered their knockout stage opponents, as well as Scottish Premiership champion Celtic.

Arsenal avoided a number of big teams, including those who dropped down from the Champions League, as they were paired with Belarusian side BATE Borisov, while Chelsea were handed a slightly more difficult draw against Malmo - the most successful club in Swedish history.
