Scottish Premiership clubs feature in Monday’s European play-off draws

Rangers, Hearts, Kilmarnock and St Mirren will feature in Monday’s European play-off draws.

Dynamo Kyiv or Scottish Premiership runners-up Rangers will be one of the seeded entries in the Champions League play-off draw.

The Ukrainian side or Philippe Clement’s team will be drawn to face the winner of the Lille v Fenerbahce tie or the Salzburg v FC Twente tie.

Dynamo and Rangers meet for the first leg of their third qualifying tie on Tuesday evening in Poland, where Dynamo are temporarily playing. Rangers’ home leg will be the following Tuesday at Hampden, with Ibrox currently unavailable due to renovation works.

Hearts, Kilmarnock and St Mirren also feature in Monday’s European play-off draws.

Hearts, third in last season’s Premiership, are unseeded in the third group of ties in the Europa League play-off draw. All other entrants will come from the third qualifying round, which begins on Thursday.

Possible eventual opponents include Cercle Bruges, who knocked out Kilmarnock last week, and Portuguese side Braga. Should Hearts lose, they will enter the Conference League group stage.

Kilmarnock or Tromso will feature in the first group of ties drawn in the Conference League play-off round, with St Mirren or Brann in group two. Frances’ Lens are possible opponents for Killie while St Mirren could face Italians Fiorentina.
