Conference League draw takes place as Hibs and Dundee United find out potential opponents

The draw for the third qualifying round of the Conference League has taken place as Hibernian and Dundee United find out their potential 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.
