Arsenal have discovered their opponents for the next round of the UEFA Europa League competition for the season.
The Gunners after suffering a 1-0 defeat in the first leg were able to overturn the deficit with a 3-0 triumph when BATE Borisov paid a visit to the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night.
An own goal, with headers from Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis Papastathopoulos who came on as a substitute for the injured Laurent Koscielny ensured that the Gunners advanced to the last 16 stage.
In the draws that held on Friday afternoon at the House of European Football, Nyon, Switzerland, Arsenal were handed Rennes to battle with as they look to secure glory.
The ties for the double-legged encounter will be played on March 7 and 14 respectively.
