Heart of Midlothian faces a crucial test in the Champions League qualifying rounds as they prepare to meet Fenerbahce or Gornik Zabrze if they overcome Sturm Graz. The third-round ties are set for 4/5 and 11/12 August. Should Hearts falter against the Austrians, they would shift their focus to the Europa League, where Benfica or St Gallen of Switzerland await.

Both Fenerbahce and Gornik Zabrze finished as runners-up in their respective leagues last season, mirroring Hearts' own aspirations. This marks Hearts' first appearance in Champions League qualifying since the 2006-07 season, where they were eliminated in the third round by AEK Athens.

On the other hand, Rangers are seeded in the Europa League third qualifying round and will face Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystok. Last season, Rangers struggled in the Champions League qualifying, finishing 32nd in the 36-team Europa League phase after securing just one victory from eight matches.

In addition, Motherwell and Hibernian are awaiting updates on their potential Conference League opponents.

• Motherwell will take on Faroese team HB, with the winners facing teams like LNZ Cherkasy (UKR)/Gent (BEL) or Besiktas (TUR)/FC Midtjylland (DEN).
• Hibernian meets FK Malisheva from Kosovo, potentially advancing against teams like NK Bravo (SVN)/KF Shkendija (MKD) or FC Santa Coloma (AND)/SK Rapid (AUT).

The draw sets the stage for an exciting European campaign for these Scottish clubs.
