Uefa is holding a random draw at 08:00 BST on Friday for all qualifying play-off losers to decide who replaces Fenerbahce. The Turkish side have been banned for two years for match-fixing.

The UEFA Emergency Panel has met today to review the consequences of the CAS decision confirming the exclusion of Fenerbahçe SK from the 2013/14 UEFA club competitions.
The Emergency Panel decided that all the teams that are eliminated in the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League today will enter a draw to randomly select the team replacing Fenerbahçe in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage draw.
This replacement draw will take place in Monaco on Friday 30 August at 09.00CET and will be streamed live on UEFA.com.

Bit more info from the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23888700British trio
Wigan, Tottenham and Swansea will discover their Europa League group stage
opponents on Friday morning when the Uefa draw takes place.

Championship side Wigan enter the competition at the group stage after winning last
season's FA Cup. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22409634)

Spurs made it through after beating Dinamo Tbilisi 8-0
on aggregate, (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23791024) while Swansea lost 2-1 at Petrolul
Ploiesti (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23790978) but won 6-3 on aggregate.

The draw, which takes place in Monaco, begins at 11:45 BST.

Before the main selection, Uefa will hold a draw between the 30 losers of the
play-off round with one team selected to replace Fenerbahce in the group stage.
The Turkish side were
beaten by Arsenal this week (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23763942) and should have entered the Europa League as one
of the 10 losing sides in the Champions League play-offs.


But they are starting a two-year ban from European competition after losing an appeal this week. (http://www.hibs.net/sport/0/football/23769348)

The tie between Dutch side AZ Alkmaar and Greek outfit Atromitos will
conclude on Friday morning after Thursday's second-leg tie was abandoned after a
fire broke out at the AFAS Stadion.

The spectators were evacuated after the match was brought to a halt in the
57th minute, with the visitors leading 1-0 to trail 3-2 on aggregate.

Ten-man AZ will now play the remaining 33 minutes against Atromitos on Friday
at 1000 BST before the draw.

The 48 teams in the draw will be drawn into 12 groups of four in Monaco

Cypriot mob Apoel got it and (despite being fekn losers) it looks like they go into Pot 2, thus depriving the mighty Eintracht Frankfurt of that pot.

Consolation being there are some cracking potential trips in Pot 2 and a few EPL teams.
