Hibs and Dundee United find out potential Conference League opponents
Hibs start off in the Europa League where they will take on FC Midtjylland in a two-legged tie over the next fortnight.
If David Gray's men get through that, they will play Fredrikstad for a place in the play-off round of the second-tier competition.
But if they get knocked out, then they will drop into the Conference League qualifiers to take on either Olexandriya, from Ukraine, or Serbian side Partizan Belgrade.
Dundee United start in the third tier, where they will take on UNA Strassen in the second qualifying round.
If they get past the Luxembourg club, they will set up a third-round qualifying clash with either Decic, from Montenegro, or Austrian side Rapid Vienna.
The Champions League and Europa League draws took place earlier on Monday.
If Rangers get past Panathinaikos then they will play either Servette, from Switzerland, or Czech side Viktoria Plzen in the next round of qualifying in the top competition.
But if they drop into the Europa League they will take on Besiktas or Shakhtar Donetsk.
Any team that gets past the third-round qualifiers will reach the play-off stage of that respective competition, and will be joined by Celtic (Champions League) and Aberdeen (Europa League).
The Hoops and the Dons are the only two Scottish sides guaranteed League Phase football, as even in the worst-case scenario of them losing their play-offs, they will drop into the Europa League and Conference League, respectively.

Lionesses fans spot hilarious X-rated comment Chloe Kelly shouts after collecting medal
Lionesses star Chloe Kelly scored the winning penalty for England to send the nation into ecstasy but a moment after the Euro 2025 final on Sunday also had fans taking Eagle-eyed fans spotted an X-rated moment from Chloe Kelly in the aftermath of her Euro 2025 final heroics. Arsenal star Kelly once again came off the bench and had a huge impact for the Lionesses, as they beat Spain on penalties in Basel, Switzerland. The 27-year-old came on for the injured Lauren James in the first half, with England 1-0 down. Kelly had scored the winning goal in Tuesday's semi-final victory over Italy but made an even greater impact against Spain. As England chased an equaliser early the second half, the winger whipped in a cross for Arsenal team-mate Alessia Russo to nod home and make it 1-1. Then, during the penalty shootout, Kelly stepped up to take England's fifth penalty and scored in emphatic fashion. She and her fellow Lionesses were then given winners' medals by UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin after shaking hands with Prince William. Once Kelly had received her gold medal, she kissed it before turning to the camera and mouthing: "F***ing come on!" Those watching at home on TV were quick to point out her comment. One fan posted on X: "Chloe Kelly 'F***ing come on' Hah. Legend." Another wrote: "Chloe Kelly mouthing 'F***ing Come On!' as she walked away with her winners medal is peak football joy." A third added: "Chloe Kelly shaking hands with Prince William then turning to the camera... kissing her winners medal and saying "F***ING COME ON' was the standout moment of the Women's Euros for me #Legend." Kelly, who memorably scored the winning goal as England beat Germany in the 2022 Euros final, was also heard saying after lifting the trophy: "The first time was so nice, we had to do it twice!" Kelly had a rollercoaster season at club level, having been frozen out at Manchester City. She joined Arsenal on loan in January and helped the Gunners win their first ever Champions League before securing a permanent transfer earlier this month. "There were a lot of tears at full-time, especially when I saw my family because those are the ones who got me through those dark moments," Kelly said after Sunday's final. "I am so grateful to be out the back end. If that's a story to tell someone that maybe experiencing something the same - tough times don't last. "Just around the corner was a Champions League final, won that, and now a Euros final, won that. So, thank you to everyone that wrote me off. I'm grateful."
