FC Metalist Kharkiv or FC Paços de Ferreira please! Can't see Celtic struggling with any of the unseeded teams.
 
Arsenal get Fenerbahçe SK, should get through fairly easily but not the best draw we could have hoped for.

From BBC:

Arsenal's Champions League opponents Fenerbahce's future in the competition is uncertain after they were handed a two-year European ban by UEFA over domestic match-fixing in June.

However, they were re-admitted to the competition pending an appeal at CAS.

The decision on Fenerbahce is due to be announced after the fourth qualifying round has been played which could create a problem for UEFA if they progress that far and then lose their appeal.
