067.078 Schalke '04
066.934 Juventus
066.013 Glasgow Rangers*

14.070 Artmedia Petrzalka Bratislava*
12.748 AaB Aalborg*
12.400 SK Brann Bergen*
10.840 Rapid Wien*

* still have to play 2nd qualification round. Unseeded teams in the 2nd qualification round that qualify for the next round take effectively the coefficient of their opponent in the next round. The reason for this is that the draw for the 3rd qualification round is made before the results of the 2nd qualification round are known. In the 3rd qualifying round teams from the same country cannot play against each other.

2nd qualification round matches (29/30-7 & 5/6-8):

Brann - Ventspils
İnter Bakı - Partizan
Drogheda - Dynamo Kyiv
Rangers - Kaunas
Tampere United - Artmedia
Sheriff - Sparta
AaB - Modriča
Beitar Jerusalem - Wisła Kraków
Fenerbahçe - MTK
Göteborg - Basel
Anderlecht - BATE
Anorthosis - Rapid Wien
Panathinaikos - Dinamo Tbilisi
Domžale - Dinamo Zagreb


If we can advoid Madrid, Kiev & Galatasary then i'm happy. Ideally AaB Aalborg, SK Brann Bergen or Rapid Wien will do provided they get through

Arsenal were handed an intriguing tie against former England boss Steve McClaren's FC Twente in the Champions League third qualifying round.

McClaren was appointed by the Dutch side in June this year, taking his first job since he was sacked by England in November 2007.

Liverpool have been drawn against Belgium's Standard Liege.

And Rangers will play the winner of the second-round match between Aalborg and Modrica if they can overcome Kaunas.

Rangers drew 0-0 at Ibrox in the first leg of their second round qualifier against the Lithuanian side on Wednesday and will play the return leg next week.

McClaren has pitted his wits against Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger before, when he was in charge of Middlesbrough.

But it is unlikely he will relish returning to England for a match that Arsenal will be strong favourites to win.

"I think of all the teams we could have had, that is the toughest - or one of the toughest.

"I expected one of the English teams - fate deals you certain cards and it has dealt us this card. On one hand it is very, very tough - we know that - but on the other very exciting," he told Sky Sports.

McClaren may not be the only coach returning to his native country as former Arsenal boss Bruce Rioch could be taking Danish champions Aalborg to Rangers.

Former Scotland captain Rioch's side have a 5-0 first-leg lead over Modrica so should make it through to the third qualifying round.

Liverpool, who were beaten by Chelsea in the semi-finals last year, will fancy their chances of getting past Standard Liege.

The Reds will play their first leg away from home - as will Arsenal and Rangers, too, provided the Glasgow side make it through.

Elsewhere in the draw, highly-fancied Barcelona will play either Beitar Jerusalem or Wisla Krakow and Italian giants Juventus face Tampere United or Artmedia Bratislava.
