Dundee United and Hibs learn Conference League play-off path

Dundee United and Hibs have learned who they could potentially face in the play-off round of the Conference League.

UEFA conducted the draw for the Conference League play-offs in Nyon on Monday afternoon, laying out the possible path to the September group stages for both clubs.

Hibernian must overcome Partizan Belgrade to be involved in the play-off round, and if they get there, they will face either AEK Larnaca or Legia Warszawa.

Dundee United meet Rapid Vienna next, with the first leg on Thursday, and if they overcome that hurdle, will take on the winner of AIK Stockholm vs ETO FC Gyor.

Should the sides progress, they could be joined by Aberdeen in the Conference group stage, who learned their opponents for the play-off round for the Europa League earlier on Monday.

If they lose, they will drop down to the Conference League.

They will take on either Romanian side FCSB or Kosovan side FC Drita, with Aberdeen playing the first leg at Pittodrie on August 21, with the return match a week later.

Celtic and Rangers also learned their potential path to the Champions League.

Celtic went into the seeded Champions Path side of the draw, and will play either Kairat or Slovan Bratislava.

If Rangers can defeat Czech outfit Viktoria Plzen in the third round, they will face the winner of RB Salzburg v Club Brugge for a place in the Champions League.

The losers of the ties will drop into the Europa League at the league phase stage.
