Hearts will take on Hajduk Split or PAOK if they get past Rosenborg while Derry City will play either Viktoria Plzen or Gzira United if they beat Tobol Kostanay.

Rangers will face PSV Eindhoven or Sturm Graz if they progress to the Champions League play-offs.

The Ibrox side were seeded in the draw but must first get past Swiss side Servette, who visit Ibrox on Wednesday in the first leg of the third qualifying round.
