Some European heritage in both clubs, there.

Tricky tie for the Seagulls, as Roberto De Zerbi returns to Italy.

Tough draw for the Gers.

Some huge ties for the next round – and from a neutral perspective, perhaps the most exciting is Brighton facing off against Roma.
Jose Mourinho isn't there anymore but the Seagulls will be playing against Daniele De Rossi for a place in the quarter-finals. This is after having to play European royalty in the form of Marseille and Ajax in the groups.
It's Celtic who are more commonly associated with Lisbon – but now Rangers are heading there.
Benfica will face Philippe Clement's side in the next round, in what should be a difficult test for the Glaswegians. The Eagles were Champions League quarter-finalists last season.
