Europa League draw: Celtic v Stuttgart, Nottingham Forest v Fenerbahce

Celtic will play Stuttgart and Nottingham Forest will face Fenerbahce in two-legged play-offs to reach the last 16 of the Europa League.

Martin O’Neill’s side could also have been drawn against Hungarian club Ferencvaros, managed by Robbie Keane, but will instead face the Bundesliga club.

The play-off games will take place on 19 and 26 February.

Celtic booked their spot in the play-offs with a 4-2…
