Hibs to face Faroe Islands or Andorra trip in Europa Conference League qualifiers SNS Group

Hibernian have been drawn to face either Vikingur Gota or Inter club d’Escaldes in the Europa Conference League second qualifying round.

The Easter Road side will host the first leg on July 27 before a trip to either the Faroe Islands or Andorra on August 3.

Those two sides face off on July 13 and July 20 with the winner taking on Hibs.

Víkingur were runners-up in the Faroes last season and sit fourth in the top tier after 14 matches played this season.

Inter, meanwhile, also ended the season second in the Primera Divisió, losing out on the title by two points to rivals Atletic Club.

Lee Johnson’s men secured European football courtesy of Celtic’s Scottish Cup win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

They finished fifth in last season’s Premiership, but earned the earliest possible entry from Scotland by virtue of the Glasgow side’s Hampden triumph.

City rivals Hearts, who narrowly pipped Hibs to fourth, enter the competition at the third qualifying round, which will be drawn on July 24.

Aberdeen, who finished third are guaranteed to feature in the Conference League group stages, but could reach the Europa League groups should they win a two-legged play-off in late August.
