As Tweeted by the official Champions League account, here is the official draw for the 2014/15 Champions League play-off round…

As you can hopefully see, Arsenal will be hoping to overturn Besiktas in order to reach the group stages of the Champions League for the 15th straight season.

The Gunners had to overcome Turkish opposition at this point last season too, duly whupping Fenerbahce 5-0 over two legs.

Celtic, who have made it into the play-offs by the skins of their collective teeth despite being thrashed in the qualifiers, will face Slovenia’s Maribor.

All first-leg ties are due to be played on either the 19th or 20th of August, with second leg ties being played the following week.

Hope that helps.
