Celtic have been drawn in the toughest possible group for this season's Champions League.

After last night's dramatic win over Shakter Karagandy, Neil Lennon's side have been placed in Group H alongside three fellow former champions: Barcelona, AC Milan and Ajax Amsterdam.

Arsenal have also been handed a tough draw in Group F where they will go up against last season's beaten finalists Borussia Dortmund as well as Rafa Benitez's Napoli and Marseille.
