Forest sealed their place in the play-offs with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Ferencvaros in their final league-phase match and now face a challenging trip to Turkey.

Should Forest progress past Fenerbahce, they will meet either Midtjylland or Real Betis in the round of 16.

Elsewhere, Celtic will face Stuttgart in a two-legged play-off after avoiding elimination on Thursday night. The winners of that tie will advance to face either Porto - who defeated Martin O'Neill's Celtic in the 2003 UEFA Cup final - or fellow Portuguese side Braga.

The Europa League play-off first legs will be played on 19 February, with the decisive second legs set for 26 February.
