Celtic will face Austrian side LASK in the play-off round of Champions League qualifying, a draw that also has knock-on effects for several other Scottish clubs still chasing European football this summer.
The pairing means Celtic's path to the group stage now runs through a tie against LASK, with the winner securing a place in the competition proper.
Elsewhere in the qualifying draw, Rangers' immediate assignment is against Polish outfit Jagiellonia Bialystok in the third round of Europa League qualifying. Should Rangers get past the Poles, they will discover their play-off opponent from a pool of three possibilities: Lillestrom of Norway, the winner of the Northern Irish champions Larne against Georgian side Iberia 1999, or one of the losing teams from a pair of Champions League qualifiers - either Levski Sofia of Bulgaria against Kairat Almaty of Kazakhstan, or Mjallby of Sweden against Slovan Bratislava of Slovakia.
Should Rangers instead lose to Jagiellonia, they would drop into a different bracket, facing the winner of one of several ties: Jablonec (Czech Republic) versus RFS (Latvia), Zalgiris (Lithuania) versus Hajduk Split (Croatia), Brann (Norway) versus Apollon Limassol (Cyprus), Inter Turku (Finland) versus Vaduz (Liechtenstein), or Noah (Armenia) versus Sion (Switzerland).
Hearts, who have dropped down from Champions League qualifying, now face Portuguese giants Benfica. The winner of that tie will progress to a play-off against one of four possible opponents: OFI Crete, the winner of a match between Thun (Switzerland) and Vikingur Reykjavik (Iceland), or the loser of one of two Champions League qualifying ties - AGF Aarhus (Denmark) versus Sabah (Azerbaijan), or Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) versus Kauno Zalgiris (Lithuania).
Should Hearts fall to Benfica, they would be rerouted into Conference League play-off qualification, with potential opponents including Italy's Atalanta, Germany's Freiburg, or the winner of one of three further ties - Panathinaikos (Greece) against CSKA Sofia (Bulgaria), Paide Linnameeskond (Estonia) against Rapid Vienna (Austria), or Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldova) against St Gallen (Switzerland).
Motherwell find themselves facing an identical set of possible opponents to Hearts' Conference League scenario, provided they can first overcome Finnish side HJK Helsinki in their own qualifying assignment.
Hibernian's route to Europe is also mapped out, contingent on victory over North Macedonian club Shkendija. Success there would open the door to a play-off against one of several sides: Brighton & Hove Albion of England, French club Monaco, the winner of a tie between Bohemians of the Republic of Ireland and Danish outfit Midtjylland, the winner of a match between IFK Gothenburg (Sweden) and Gent (Belgium), or the loser of a fixture between Pafos (Cyprus) and Salzburg (Austria).
The layered nature of the draws reflects the staggered qualifying structure across Europe's three continental competitions, with Scottish clubs facing a demanding summer schedule before the various group stages take shape. Celtic's tie against LASK stands as the most immediately defined fixture among the Scottish sides, while Rangers, Hearts, Motherwell and Hibernian all await the outcome of their preliminary matches before their play-off opponents are confirmed.
