The draw for the play-off round of the 2012/13 Champions League has been made, with Celtic pitted against Helsingborgs of Sweden.

Following the play-off draw in Nyons this Friday morning the 20 teams in the play-off round of the Champions League now know what stands between them and the lucrative group stages of the competition.

After a convincing win over HJK Helsinki in the third qualifying round Celtic will now take on Swedish champions Helsingborgs, with the second leg to be played at Parkhead.

Champions League debutants Borussia Monchengladbach will take on Ukrainian outfit Dynamo Kiev, while Malaga will play Panathinaikos in what will also be the Spanish side’s first taste of Champions League football.

FC Basel have been drawn to play CFR Cluj, who made their debut in the competition last season, Bate Borisov are up against Hapoel Kiryat Shmona of Israel and Cypriot champions AEL Limassol will play Belgian outfit Anderlecht.

One of the ties of the round sees Spartak Moscow up against Fenerbahce while Braga will play Udinese and Lille take on FC Copenhagen.

The first legs will take place on Tuesday 21st August and Wednesday 22nd August, with the second legs being played a week later. The winners of each tie will then progress to the group stages where they will join 22 automatic qualifiers in the draw that takes place in Monaco on August 30th.
