Everton will face Lille, Wolfsburg and FC Krasnodar in the Europa League groups stages as they begin their first European campaign since 2009-10.

Tottenham were knocked out at the quarter-final stage in 2013 and were beaten in the last 16 by Benfica last season.

They beat Group C rivals Besiktas in the Uefa Cup in 2006 but have never met either Partizan Belgrade or Asteras Tripolis.

Celtic, who dropped into the Europa League after their Champions League exit against Maribor, were beaten in a Champions League qualifier by Dinamo Zagreb in 1998.
