Robin Van Persie will not be featuring in this season's group stages

Robin van Persie and Nani's dreams of Champions League football this season were dashed as Fenerbahce lost 3-0 at Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League qualifiers on Wednesday.

Van Persie was missing as goals from Dario Srna, Oleksandr Gladkiy and Alex Teixeira gave Shakhtar a 3-0 aggregate victory after the first leg in Istanbul last week had finished 0-0.

Partizan Belgrade, CSKA Moscow, Astana and Malmo also reached the play-off round; CSKA came from two goals down at Sparta Prague to win 3-2 and qualify 5-4 on aggregate, Russian international Alan Dzagoev scoring the winner.

Astana, having drawn 0-0 in the first leg away to HJK Helsinki, prevailed after a see-saw battle in the return, Evgeniy Postnikov scoring a stoppage-time winner to seal a 4-3 win for the Kazakh champions who had been reduced to 10 men.

The Serbian champions Partizan went through after a 4-2 home win over 10-man Steaua Bucharest, giving them a 5-3 aggregate win against the 1986 European Cup winners.

Malmo, the Swedish champions, scored three first-half goals to secure a 3-0 win over Salzburg (3-2 on aggregate) while Albanian champions Skenderbeu are within 180 minutes of becoming the first Albanian side to reach the group stage, after beating the Moldovan champions Milsami 2-0 on the night, 4-0 on aggregate.

Celtic - 1-0 aggregate winners over FK Qarabag - can face one of five opponents in Friday's play-off draw; Astana from Kazakhstan, Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv and Swedish club Malmo could meet Ronny Deila's side. Serbian champions Partizan Belgrade and Skenderbeu - who are from Albania - are the other possible foes.

Louis van Gaal's side can be paired with one of five teams in Friday's draw

Manchester United join the competition at the same stage and like the Scottish champions have five possible opponents; Belgium's Club Brugge, CSKA Moscow, Lazio, Monaco - who beat United in the knock-out stages in 1998 - or Rapid Vienna.

The dates for play-off first leg are 18/19 August with the second legs taking place on 25/26 August. The winning teams progress to the group stage, the losing sides enter the group stage of the Europa League.
