Monaco or PSV Eindhoven will stand between Rangers and a place in the Champions League group stages, should the Ibrox club beat Union SG.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side would be at home against the French or Dutch outfit on 16/17 August and away a week later in the play-off round.

Hearts, meanwhile, will need to beat Linfield or FC Zurich to reach the Europa League group stages.

Dundee United or AZ will meet Riga or Gil Vicente in the Conference League.

Hearts will be away from home for the first leg of their play-off round tie on 18 August but United would be at home on that date.

Should Robbie Neilson's side lose, they would drop into the Europa Conference League groups.

And if Rangers were unsuccessful at either the third qualifying or play-off round, they will enter the Europa League group stage for the fifth season in a row.

They meet Union SG in Belgium in Tuesday's first leg (19:45 BST) and the return is at Ibrox on 9 August (19:45). Monaco and PSV meet on the same dates, with Monaco at home first.

United host AZ in the first leg of their tie on Thursday (20:00) and visit the Netherlands on 11 August (20:00).

Northern Ireland's Linfield welcome FC Zurich on Thursday, with the return leg in Switzerland on 11 August. Portugal's Gil Vicente visit Latvia's Riga on Wednesday and the return is on 11 August.
