Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Motherwell and Rangers now have a clearer idea of who they might face in Europa League and Conference League qualifying after Uefa confirmed the groupings for Monday's draws. Celtic already knew their potential opponents in their Champions League play-off, with their draw at 11:00 BST.

If Rangers defeat Polish side Jagiellonia Białystok, they will face either Lillestrom, the winners of Larne vs Iberia 1999, or the losers of two Champions League qualifiers. Having dropped down from Champions League qualifying, Hearts face Benfica and four possible play-off opponents, including OFI Crete or winners of Thun vs Vikingur Reykjavik.

Should Hearts lose to Benfica, they enter a Conference League play-off against sides like Atalanta or Freiburg. Motherwell face similar possibilities if they defeat HJK Helsinki. Meanwhile, Hibs' reward for defeating Shkendija is a potential tie against Brighton & Hove Albion or Monaco. Celtic could draw LASK, Viking Stavanger, or winners from various qualifying ties.
