Club Brugge, Olympiacos, Shakhtar Donetsk and Bayer Leverkusen dropped down into the Europa League tonight after finishing third in the Champions League group.

The Round of 32 draw will be made on Monday at 12 noon Celtic Park Time and is now taking shape with Inter Milan, Ajax, Benfica and RB Salzburg also included.

The Champions League clubs will be split in two with the four clubs with the best record joining Celtic in the seeded section with the others unseeded and possible opponents to Neil Lennon’s side.

Tonight’s drop outs look like going into the unseeded section but with UEFA until the draw is about to get underway nothing is ever certain.

While Ajax dropped out of the Champions League with 10 points Brugge picked up just three points but edged Galatasaray out by one point for third spot.

The remaining qualifiers will be known tomorrow, Manchester United and Wolves are definitely in the last 32 draw but Arsenal’s fate will be decided tomorrow.
