Celtic has been drawn against Austrian champions LASK in the Champions League play-off round. This draw sets up a crucial tie for the Scottish club as they aim to advance in Europe's premier club competition.
In parallel, four other Scottish clubs are awaiting the draws for the Europa League and Conference League. Rangers, if they successfully navigate their Europa League qualifying third round tie against Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystok, will face a play-off against one of several potential opponents. These include Lillestrom of Norway, the winner between Northern Irish champions Larne and Iberia 1999 of Georgia, or the loser of a Champions League qualifier between Levski Sofia (Bulgaria) and Kairat Almaty (Kazakhstan), or Mjallby (Sweden) and Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia).
Should Rangers be eliminated from the Europa League, they will enter a different play-off bracket with a new set of possible opponents. These include the winners of ties between Jablonec (Czech Republic) and RFS (Latvia), Zalgiris (Lithuania) and Hajduk Split (Croatia), Brann (Norway) and Apollon Limassol (Cyprus), Inter Turki (Finland) and Vaduz (Liechtenstein), or Noah (Armenia) and Sion (Switzerland).
Hibernian (Hibs), after a potential victory against Shkendija of Macedonia, could face a play-off against Brighton & Hove Albion, Monaco of France, or the winner of several other ties. These include the match between Bohemians (Republic of Ireland) and Midtjylland (Denmark), IFK Gothenburg (Sweden) and Gent (Belgium), or the loser of Pafos (Cyprus) against Salzburg (Austria).
Hearts, having dropped down from Champions League qualifying, are set to face Benfica. The winner of that tie will then have four possible play-off opponents in their respective competition. These potential adversaries include OFI Crete, the winner of the tie between Thun (Switzerland) and Vikingur Reykjavik (Iceland), or the loser of a Champions League qualifier between AGF Aarhus (Denmark) and Sabah (Azerbaijan), and Dinamo (Croatia) and Kauno Zalgiris (Lithuania). If Hearts lose to Benfica, they will enter a Conference League play-off, potentially facing Atalanta (Italy), Freiburg (Germany), or the winners of ties involving Panathinaikos (Greece) and CSKA (Bulgaria), Paide Linnameeskond (Estonia) and Rapid Vienna (Austria), or Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldova) and St Gallen (Switzerland).
Motherwell faces similar possibilities in the Conference League, depending on the outcome of their match against HJK Helsinki of Finland.
