CELTIC'S LONG JOURNEY
So it is Astana again for Celtic, which means a very long trip to Kazakhstan for the second leg.
That's a 10 hour flight and a 4,000 mile journey from Scotland to the Kazakh capital.
But they did it last season, edging past Astana 3-2 on aggregate in a Champions League third qualifying round tie.
It was a very nervy affair, though, with Celtic advancing thanks to Moussa Dembele's 92nd minute penalty.
By no means an easy draw.

LIVERPOOL DRAW HOFFENHEIM
Jurgen Klopp returns to Germany as Liverpool will face Bundesliga side Hoffenheim.
The German side finished a very respectable fourth in the table last season, just two points behind Borussia Dortmund.
Their coach is Julian Nagelsmann, who at 30 years old is one of the youngest managers in Europe.
And they recently signed Serge Gnabry on loan from Bayern Munich.
That's one of the tougher ties Liverpool could have got in the play-off round but they will still fancy their chances of reaching the group stage.
