Should Celtic win, Brendan Rodgers' side will again qualify for the league phase, while a defeat over two legs would see them drop into the Europa League at the league phase stage.

Should Rangers get past Viktoria Plzen in their third-round qualifier, they will face the winners of Salzburg and Club Brugge in the play-off round.

They play the home leg on Tuesday August 5 before visiting Plzen the following week on Tuesday August 12.

However, things are a bit more complicated for Premier League side Crystal Palace, who will face either Fredrikstand from Norway or Midtjylland from Denmark in their Conference League qualifiers.

Midtjylland beat Hibernian in the last round, thanks to a 119th-minute overhead kick winner at Easter Road.

However, Crystal Palace could still return to the Europa League with their appeal against their demotion to be heard before the Court of Arbitration for Sport set for Friday, with an outcome expected on Monday August 11.

They will find out their exact opponents when the third round of qualifying is completed on Thursday August 14.
