Celtic draw Ajax and Fenerbahce in Europa League group

Liverpool play Russian side Rubin Kazan, and French club Bordeaux in Group B

Celtic have the prospect of facing Robin van Persie and Nani's new side Fenerbahce plus Dutch giants Ajax in their Europa League group.

Friday’s draw also sees Molde from Norway make up their Group A match-ups.

Celtic last met Ajax in the Champions League group stages two seasons ago, beating them 2-1 in Glasgow but losing away in Amsterdam 1-0. While they’ve yet to play Turkish side Fenerbahce.

Tottenham have been handed a daunting group including a long haul trip to Azerbaijan.
