Champions League Group Stage Draw
The Champions League Group Stage draw is completed and it has came up with some intriguing match-ups.
Manchester United and Rangers have been drawn together in Group C of the Champions League at Thursday's draw in Monaco.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side are top seeds in the group, with Spanish side Valencia picked from pot two and Walter Smith's team also involved.
The teams were drawn together at the same stage in 2003-04 with United winning 3-0 at home and 1-0 at Ibrox.
Harry Redknapp's Tottenham, who secured their first appearance in the Champions League group stage with Wednesday's 4-0 win over Young Boys were rewarded with a place in Group A alongside Italian heavyweights Inter Milan and Germany's Werder Bremen.
Top seeds Chelsea were matched with Marseille and Spartak Moscow in Group F prior to the fourth and final pot being drawn, while Arsenal appeared to have the most straightforward assignment after drawing Shakhtar Donetsk and Braga in Group H.
Meanwhile, the likely Group of death would be Group G, where Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid take on AC Milan, Ajax and Auxerre.
