    • Celtic are at home to LASK in the first leg on 18 and 19 August, with the return game the following week.

    LASK won their domestic title for the second time last season – their first since 1965 – and, like Martin O’Neill’s side, qualified directly for the play-off round.

    Given they could have faced Viking Stavanger, Celje, Ararat-Armenia, Kairat Almaty, Levski Sofia, AGF Aarhus or Sabah instead, it is probably the toughest draw Celtic could have been given.

    Dietmar Kuhbauer’s side have a lower coefficient than Celje, but the Austrian league is ranked much higher than Slovenia’s.

    Rangers will be at home for the first leg of their Europa League play-off on 20 August, as will Hearts should they defeat Benfica.

    Both will also be at home on that date should they lose and play in the Conference League play-offs.

    Motherwell will also have a home tie first should they progress, but Hibs’ first leg would be away from home.
